Soaring to new heights proclaiming a “ The
Call to Arms” for a new vision for our City that all the world
will hear. Located on Washington Square, Soldiers and
Sailors Monument named: “The Call to Arms” was
designed by artist James Kelly. The bronze statue stands
17’ tall on a 50’ granite column. The bronze relief panels
located on the three sides of the monument were
designed by Caspar Buberl. The most famous of the
reliefs shows a depiction of the famous Civil War battle of
the ironclad ships the Monitor vs. the Merrimac. The
plates for the Monitor were rolled in Troy at the
Rensselaer Iron Works. Built in honor of those who
served in the armed services from Rensselaer County,
the monument was dedicated in 1891with over 10,000
people attending the dedication.
