Historic “Union Square is noted for its impressive equestrian statue of U.S. President George Washington, modeled by Henry Kirke Brown and unveiled in 1856, the first public sculpture erected in New York City since the equestrian statue of George III in 1770, and the first American equestrian sculpture cast in bronze; the historic moment depicted is Evacuation Day, November 25, 1783, when the British left the city and General Washington triumphantly led his troops back into the city.” ~ Wikipedia Beginning in the 1870s and for the next 30 years Union Square, from 14th to 23rd Street, was the heart of NYC’s theatrical/entertainment community.
