Albert Pike Statue

Alber Pike, is portrayed in a classical Greek motif with long flowing hair and robes.

Albert Pike was the head of the Masonic fraternity, and a leading Southern Democrat. His life-size statue has been accorded a prominent place at our Nation's Capital among the distinguished citizens of America.

On April 9, 1898, a joint resolution of Congress was enacted to set aside a site for the statue. This act was due, in large part, to the efforts of two prominent Scottish Rite members, Congressman James D. Richardson, 33°, from Tennessee and Senator Henry M. Teller, 33°, from Colorado. A nine member committee met with the Superintendant of Public Works in Washington, D.C., and the committee of the Library of the Senate and House of Representatives and selected a site at the intersection of Third and D Streets, N.W.
