It was dedicated, in memory of the town's residents who fought for the Union cause, on 1 July, 1876. The monument's artist was noted sculptor Truman Howe Bartlett, and its design is said to have been inspired by a statue excavated from Pompeii with which Bartlett was familiar. Though there was, in 1912, a call by some locals to replace the representation of Victory with a more conventional Civil War figure, the monument was defended by local resident and Medal of Honor recipient Frederick N. Deland, and was ultimately preserved. Extent The size or duration of the resource.

Title A name given to the resource Edgell Memorial Library (Framingham Center, Massachusetts) Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived american Type The nature or genre of the resource Site Description An account of the resource Located in Framingham's Centre Common, the Edgell Memorial Library was built in 1872 and dedicated on February 22, 1873. A distinctive structure with a purple and red slate roof, the Library stands as one of the few remaining Gothic buildings in the area. Opening as the town's first public library, it was dedicated to the 530 Framingham men who served in the Civil War; tablets inside list the names of 27 locals who were killed in action. When the town moved its library in 1963, the Edgell Memorial Library was saved from destruction by the Framingham Historical Society, and was converted into an exhibition and office space. Within the library's permanent exhibition is a marble bust of General George H. Gordon, Framingham's highest ranking officer in the Civil War. The bust was designed by Daniel C. French, and was gifted to the library by members of the Second Massachusetts Infantry. The building also houses the restored colors of the 13th Massachusetts Infantry. In April 2011, restorative work on the Edgell Memorial Library was completed to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War.

This move was reportedly caused by an inability of the library authorities to enforce the building's dress code: seeing the standing soldier in full uniform, patrons would often refuse to uncover their own hats. The memorial was largely funded by Framingham resident George Phipps, who provided the required $3,000 upon the request of local patriot George G. Brown. Mr Phipps is anecdotally said to have begrudgingly parted with the money, remarking "There's a check for your brazen image." The statue is taken from an original prototype by sculptor Martin Milmore for a monument in Charlestown in 1871. Framingham's version, in bronze, was cast by Ames Foundry in Chicopee.
