	Richmond's Monument Avenue, by Sarah Shields Driggs, Richard Guy Wilson, and Robert P. Winthrop. Introduction.
		Monument Avenue simultaneously symbolized Richmond's rising from the ashes of defeat and celebrated the past embodied in that defeat.
		Monument Avenue is also a neighborhood of 263 houses and apartment buildings and 6 places of worship.
		Monument Avenue shares a common characteristic with other great American residential avenues from the turn of the century: many of the buildings are not architecturally distinguished themselves, but gain their significance from the impact of the harmony of scale, form, materials, cornice, roofline, and setback.

	Monument Avenue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Monument Avenue, in Richmond, Virginia, memorializes Confederate heroes of the Civil War, and one Richmond native.
		The Monument was originally to have been placed in Washington, D.C., but Maury did side with his state of Virginia as did Lee and others who had already made a career in the USA and USN.
		The decision to place the statue of Arthur Ashe on Monument Avenue was widely disputed due to the lack of correlation between the Richmond native tennis star and former soldiers, as well as the racial tension throughout the city.

	Monument - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Washington Monument's location (and vertical geometry, though not physical detail) was conceived to help organize public space in the city before it was ever connected with George Washington.
		Monuments have been created for thousands of years, and they are often the most durable and famous symbols of ancient civilizations.
		Until relatively recently, it was customary for archaeologists to study large monuments and pay less attention to the everyday lives of the societies that created them.

	Analysis
		Although knowledge of Monument Avenue may be widespread throughout this country, the significance of its public statuary and the depth of personal attachment to its commemoration of the confederate cause is not common among all Americans.
		Monument Avenue thus became Richmond's interpretation of the movement--a movement influencing the design of cities all across the nation.
		Although derived from the French model of the boulevard, Monument Avenue diverged from this European design in its lack of uniformity in architecture, the absence of a grand public building anchoring the avenue, and failure of its monuments to be the "hub" of anything, thereby distinguishing itself as something uniquely American.

	Police Officers Monument -- Oglethorpe Avenue
		During a murder trial in 1963, Nell Fountain, president of the Police Officer's Wives Association, promised the wife of slain Patrolman Harry H. Akins, that something would be done to perpetuate the memory of police killed in the line of duty.
		The Association formed a monument committee, began to research the records to find the names of officers killed in action, and to publicize their efforts to erect a monument.
		It is the first and perhaps the only, monument dedicated to the memory of police officers who have died in the line of duty.

	VQR » A Monumental Avenue
		When on Easter Sunday afternoon in 1973, Richmond's first modern street fair was held on Monument Avenue, thousands came to stroll the Avenue and inaugurate the first of many parades, house tours, and other urban events which re-established the Avenue as a vital part of the community.
		Monument Avenue has not just maintained itself: its long-standing role as a residential neighborhood, as a site for civic celebrations, as a tribute to the great, and as a symbol of Richmond has not diminished—and will continue throughout its second century."
		This fine study of Monument Avenue is a splendid illustration of how such solid scholarship on a narrow subject can yield important understanding of much larger topics.
