Liberty Memorial Design Proposal #36
-
Description
-
Architectural detail of the three flags, altar, and columns included in a Liberty Memorial design proposal from San Francisco-based Walter D. Bliss and William B. Flaville. According to Derek Donovan's Lest the Ages Forget: Kansas City's Liberty Memorial, their entry was unranked by the 1921 memorial jury convened by the Liberty Memorial Association. "Bliss & Flaville's design called for a simple, circular arena of soaring columns. Inside, three flags stood before a large altar, which bore a long inscription." The words to the Battle Hymn of the Republic are inscribed on the altar. The inscription above the columns reads: "Liberty Memorial Monument erected A.D. MCMXXII by a grateful people to perpetuate in the minds of future generations the memory of the heroic self-sacrifice of the men who served in the World War."
