The Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial by Joseph H. Freedlander and A.D. Seymour was uneveiled in Put-in-Bay, Ohio in 1936.
Built on an island in Lake Erie, the 352 foot tall memorial is considered to be the world’s tallest Doric column. The column is topped by a 23 foot tall, 11 ton bronze urn. As the name implies, it was designed to both commemorate Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, the hero of the War of 1812’s Battle of Lake Erie, and the lasting peace between the United States and Canada that followed the war.
