This memorial and the brick display are on the SW corner of a city park, we in the Midwest would call a Town Square.
Here, it is Confederate Park. This is where the original county courthouse stood, and when removed the area was converted into a park.
This memorial is also listed in the Nomination Form for the historic district as a Non-Contributing Object.
