Alexander Hamilton Statue on the American Street of Ghosts

Perched along Commonwealth Avenue, between Arlington and Berkeley Streets, in Boston, Massachusetts, United States is the statue of Alexander Hamilton by William Rimmer. This statue, erected between 1864 and 1865, stands about 10 feet tall, with a 3 foot 4 inch wide and deep granite base. But what's notable about this statue is the three relief portrait busts it has, showing Hamilton, John Jay, and George Washington. And though Hamilton was one of the founding fathers, not everyone was pleased with the statue's design in the latter half of the 19th century. Critics, such as George B. Woods, scoffed at its appearance, likening it to a swaddled infant or a mummy. However, art critic Lincoln Kirstein, in 1961, offered a more positive assessment, seeing 'powerful' suggestions of Rodin's Balzac in the statue.
