Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Memorial

''Henry Wadsworth Longfellow'' is a bronze statue, by William Couper, and Thomas Ball.〔("Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, (sculpture)" ). ''SIRIS''〕 The statue depicts American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It is located at the intersection of M Street and Connecticut Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. and was dedicated on May 7, 1909.
After the death of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1882, there were several plans to memorialize him. His bust was placed at Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey in 1884 and a statue of the poet by Franklin Simmons was unveiled in his native town of Portland, Maine at what became known as Longfellow Square.〔Calhoun, Charles C. ''Longfellow: A Rediscovered Life''. Boston: Beacon Press, 2004: 251. ISBN 0-8070-7026-2〕 For the statue in Washington, an association was founded to raise money for the effort, ultimately earning $21,000 by subscribers. Additionally, Congress offered another $4,000 and the site.〔Gilder, Jeannette. "The Lounger", ''Putnam's Monthly: A Magazine of Literature, Art and Life''. Vol. III: No. 3 (December 1907): 385〕 Members of the organization included Andrew Carnegie, Henry Cabot Lodge, Charles William Eliot, Edward Everett Hale, Julia Ward Howe, and Curtis Guild.〔Chapple, Joe Mitchell. "Affairs at Washington", ''National Magazine''. Vol. XXX, No. 3 (June 1909): 250〕 Theodore Roosevelt served as Honorary Regent. It was unveiled in 1909 by the poet's granddaughter Erica Thorp in the presence of Chief Justice Melville Fuller and the United States Marine Band.〔
