Alexander Hamilton Monument

LOCATION: South of W. Diversey Parkway, west of N. Cannon Drive and east of N. Stockton Drive
INSTALLED: 1952 
SCULPTOR: John Angel
Philanthropist and art patron Kate Sturges Buckingham (1858–1937) is best known for donating the Clarence Buckingham Memorial Fountain in Grant Park, but she also commissioned this monument to Alexander Hamilton (1757–1804), whom she felt was “one of the least appreciated great Americans.” Buckingham believed that as the first Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton had secured the nation’s financial future, making it possible for her own family to make a fortune in grain elevators and banking. In 1940, she hired artist John Angel to model a figurative sculpture of Hamilton.
