St Gaudens National Historic Site

 Farragut Memorial by Auguste St Gaudens includes benches for people to sit on.
 This curved bench is in a part of the garden surrounded by a high yew hedge and is sheltered from any wind.
Near by St Gaudens private studio, his brother designed this bench using replicas of Roman reliefs as end pieces.
