Fireman's Memorial

Piccirilli is the artist attributed to the sculptures, and Magonigle created the marble monument for the Fireman's Memorial. The monument was dedicated in 1913 to the men who lost their lives in the line of duty. Almost a century later, the monument has new meaning; it also memorializes the 343 firefighters that died while attempting to save others from the World Trade Towers on September 11th, 2001.
