This sculpture of General P. G. T. Beauregard, by Alexander Doyle, was unveiled in 1915 in New Orleans, LA. The bronze equestrian statue is 16 feet in height. General Beauregard, born in neighboring St. Bernards Parish, is depicted wearing a Confederate uniform, coat and cap.
In 2015, the New Orleans City Council voted to relocate the monument, along with three other statues associated with the Confederacy. Lawsuits were filed opposing the removal, but in 2017 the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals held that the City of New Orleans could proceed. The statue was removed on May 17, 2017.
These photos and description are part of materials from the registration of General Beauregard Equestrian Statue in New Orleans, LA in the National Register of Historic Places.
