The smaller figure is a representation of a classically-garbed Athena with a shield and laurels. The monument stands over 27 feet tall. Photos taken by Lynn Hey and Action Greensboro.
Winston Monument
A statue of Joseph Winston stands defiantly on top of a granite base. Winston, clad in Revolutionary garb, grips his sword in his right hand while pointing forward with his left. The base of the monument holds bronze tablets on its four sides which bear the inscriptions below. The monument measures 15′ in height and 5’6′ in width at the base. The statue is made of composition metal, “so nearly resembling pure bronze that no one but an expert can distinguish it.” Contemporary newspapers praised the statue by W.H. Mullins Co. and claimed that it was the “handsomest piece of statuary in North Carolina’ and “as a work of art it has no equal in beauty in the South” Photos taken by Lynn Hey and Action Greensboro.

The Kerrenhappuch Turner Monument
Kerrenhappuch Norman Turner was the wife of James Turner, one of the early settlers of Maryland.
