The Heald Square Monument is a bronze sculpture group by Lorado Taft in Heald Square, Chicago, Illinois.[1] It depicts General George Washington and the two principal financiers of the American Revolution: Robert Morris and Haym Salomon. Following Taft's 1936 death, the sculpture was completed by his associates Leonard Crunelle,[1] Nellie Walker and Fred Torrey.[2]
Heald Square is located in the Michigan–Wacker Historic District of Chicago's Loop community area. The square was named for Captain Nathan Heald, commander of Fort Dearborn from 1810 to 1812.[1]
The sculpture was designated a Chicago Landmark on September 15, 1971.[1]
