The Robert E. Lee Monument, a 60-foot marble doric column, topped by a 12-foot state of Confederate general Robert E. Lee, sits in the center of Lee Circle near the Pontchartrain Expressway. The 250-foot diameter circular plot of land, encircled by St. Charles Avenue in its 900 and 1000 blocks was named after Robert E. Lee by the New Orleans City Council in 1877. Dedicated on February 23, 1884, the monument was a joint effort between John Roy, who architected the column, and Alexander Doyle, who sculpted the statue. Four sets of staircases, aligned with the major compass points of the circle, ascend to the top of the base of the Lee Monument. built of granite slabs, the base rises in four steps to support the fluted, capped by a marble drum on which the statue rests. On the four corners of the square base of the monument are large classical cast-iron urns, held by tripod supports, which contain ornamental shrubbery. Symbolizing the Cult of the Lost Cause, or the deification of General Lee, the monument been the subject of controversy over the years. Critics highlight the incongruity of a monument to the leader of a white, proslavery army in a black majority city. But for accepting defeat gracefully and urging his soldiers to renew their allegiance to the United States and its laws, Lee has been seen worthy of the honor by many others.
