It is the western terrace of the Philadelphia Art Museum, upon which stands statues of Revolutionary War heros, such as Generals Lafayette, Montgomery, Pulaski and von Steuben, as well as John Paul Jones and Nathanael Greene. In 1896 General William Reilly willed funds for the creation of the Terrace. Statues of Generals Lafayette, Montgomery, Pulaski and von Steuben were selected in 1949. John Paul Jones's statue was added in 1957, General Greene's in 1962. Source: Fairmount Park Art Association. Sculpture of a City. New York: Walker, 1974. p. 293. 730.  more
