Alexander L. Holley’s monument is one of those works that can be missed if you are not looking for it specifically.
The Greenwich Village streetscape compresses scale, making smaller monuments blend into façades and tree lines. This entry will clarify the exact side of the street and nearest corner.
Holley’s role in industrial and engineering history gives the monument a quieter significance compared to more dramatic equestrian statues elsewhere in the city.
Approach slowly and observe the pedestal detailing; inscriptions are easier to read in morning light.
This restored page reestablishes the connection between the Holley entry and nearby Village monuments that will soon be republished.
