BACKGROUND

This is a portion of a larger project to have a capstone fabricated to meet the specification and requirements to be used as a capstone pedestal for the reinstallation of the Albert Pike Memorial by Gaetano Trentanove and dedicated on October 23, 1901. The granite capstone will be installed by the National Park Service (NPS) in the original location at the corner of 3rd and D Streets, NW, Washington, DC.

The original capstone was damaged beyond repair during the 2020 protests when the bronze statue and stone pedestal were toppled from the memorial. The capstone is currently located on NPS Property in Frederick, MD. Shop drawings of the dimensions and detailing of the existing capstone will be provided to the contractor.
