About: Monument Avenue

An Entity of Type: historic place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Monument Avenue is a tree-lined grassy mall dividing the eastbound and westbound traffic in Richmond, Virginia, originally named for its emblematic complex of structures honoring those who fought for the Confederacy during the American Civil War. Between 1900 and 1925, Monument Avenue greatly expanded with architecturally significant houses, churches, and apartment buildings. Four of the bronze statues representing J. E. B. Stuart, Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson Davis and Matthew Fontaine Maury were removed from their memorial pedestals amidst civil unrest in July 2020. The Robert E. Lee monument was handled differently as, in contrast with the other monuments, owned by the city, it was owned by the state. Dedicated in 1890, it was removed on September 8, 2021.

Lee monument was handled differently as, in contrast with the other monuments, owned by the city, it was owned by the state. Dedicated in 1890, it was removed on September 8, 2021. The last remaining statue on Monument Avenue is the Arthur Ashe Monument, memorializing the African-American tennis champion, dedicated in 1996. In the wake of the protests that followed the murder of George Floyd in 2020, the Davis monument was torn down by protestors, while the Lee monument was ordered to be removed by Governor Ralph Northam. In July 2020, Richmond mayor Levar Stoney directed removal of the remaining Confederate monuments on city-owned land including J.E.B. Stuart, Stonewall Jackson, Matthew Fontaine Maury, the cannons marking the Richmond Defenses, and other monuments around the Richmond area. Prior to 2020, Monument Avenue had been the site of several annual events, particularly in the spring, including an annual Monument Avenue 10K race. At various times (such as Robert E. Lee's birthday and Confederate History Month) the Sons of Confederate Veterans would have gathered along Monument Avenue in period military costumes. Monument Avenue had also been the site of "Easter on Parade", another spring tradition during which many Richmonders would have strolled the avenue wearing Easter bonnets and other finery. "Monument Avenue Historic District" includes the part of Monument Avenue beginning at the traffic circle in the east at the intersection of West Franklin Street and North Lombardy Street, extending westward for some fourteen blocks to Roseneath Avenue, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a National Historic Landmark District. The American Planning Association selected Monument Avenue as one of the "10 Great Streets in America for 2007" based upon the corridor's historical residential design and craftsmanship, diversity of land uses, the integration of multiple forms of transportation, and the commitment of the community to preserve its legacy.

  • 纪念碑大道（Monument Avenue）是美国弗吉尼亚州首府里士满的一条城市规划风格的林荫大道，中央由绿树成荫的草地分隔。沿路有弗吉尼亚邦联美国内战参与者罗伯特·李、詹姆斯·尤厄尔·布朗·斯图尔特、杰斐逊·戴维斯、石墙杰克逊，以及另外两个里士满当地人“海洋之父”马修·方丹·莫里和国际网球明星亚瑟·阿什的雕像。第一个纪念碑，罗伯特·李雕像于1890年竖立。1900年和1925年之间，纪念碑大道上建起建筑上具有重要意义的住宅、教堂和公寓楼。 纪念碑大道是一些年度活动的举办地点，尤其是在春天，包括每年的纪念碑大道10公里赛跑。在罗伯特·李的生日和邦联历史月，邦联退伍军人之子身穿当年的军装，聚集在纪念碑大道。纪念碑大道也是另一项春季传统活动，复活节巡游的地点，届时许多里士满人会戴着复活节帽子漫步于大道。 纪念碑大道历史街区包括纪念碑大道的一部分，东起桦树街，西到 Roseneath 大道，被列入國家史蹟名錄。2007年，美国规划协会将纪念碑大道列为全国10条伟大街道之一。 当选原因是其历史建筑、城市形态，高品质住宅和宗教建筑，土地用途的多样性，公共艺术和多种运输方式的一体化。 * 路牌 * 罗伯特·李雕像 * 詹姆斯·尤厄尔·布朗·斯图尔特 * 詹姆斯·尤厄尔·布朗·斯图尔特 * 石墙杰克逊 * 马修·莫里纪念碑 (zh)
