Washington Square Arch Restoration
In 2002, during restoration of the famed Washington
Square Arch at the foot of Fifth Avenue, the
Association provided funding and research. The
Association identified and located the quarry that
supplied the marble for the two statues of George
Washington on the north side of the monument.
Discovery of the quarry allowed restoration
specialists to use matching marble to replace lost
or broken pieces of the statuary
