The Peace Monument also known as the Naval Monument or Civil War Sailors Monument stands on the grounds of the United States Capitol in Peace Circle at First Street N.W. and Pennsylvania Avenue Washington D.C. The 44 foot (13.4 m) high white marble memorial was erected from 1877-1878 to commemorate the naval deaths at sea during the American Civil War. Today it stands as part of a three-part sculptural group including the James A. Garfield Monument and the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial.
