Photograph of the Tower of Victory at Washington's Headquarters from the collection of the Historical Society of Newburgh. This view was from 1907 not long after it was completed in 1890 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Washington's stay and the events surrounding it. Note the houses in the background on Washington Street that are no longer there. The rooftop lookout was removed after it was damaged by a windstorm in 1953. It may soon be rebuilt thanks to a matching grant that has recently been awarded.
Two years after this photo was taken, there was a statue of General Anthony Wayne, donated by Sculptor Henry Kirke Brown, placed near the tower. It had not been bronzed and fell apart by 1910.
