Summary
[edit]DescriptionAmerican Legion post (former Barnabas H. Booth House) and Soldiers' Monument, Southold, New York - 20221124.jpg |
English: As seen on a November 2022 morning: the corner of Main Street and Tucker's Lane at the west end of Southold, New York - a diminutive public space known historically as Budd's Park - stand a pair of historic structures. At right is the Soldiers' Monument sculpted by George H. Hill, an artist and stonemason native to the neighboring town of Riverhead, and consisting of a marble figure of a soldier in Union military garb standing with his musket butt to the ground, gaze fixed solemnly southward, crowning a short granite shaft dedicated "in honor of our soldiers who served their country in 1861-1865", about 80 of whose names are also engraved on the base. Planning for a monument to honor Southold's native Civil War veterans dates back to June 1884, when the Ladies' Monumental Union was founded in response to the question of what to do with the $100 remaining in the treasury of the old Union Relief Fund. The next three years were spent raising the necessary funds to cover the remainder of what would eventually amount to $1,800 in construction costs, as well as with sometimes spirited debates regarding what form the monument should take: the pages of the Long Island Traveler and other local publications of the era record voluminous deliberations between factions that advocated for a statue of the type that was eventually built, others who preferred a simple shaft or obelisk, and still others who would have dispensed with stonework entirely in favor of a memorial library, public hall, or other more utilitarian purpose. Festivities for the monument's unveiling, which occurred on Memorial Day 1887 and were attended by a crowd numbering about 1,000, comprised a parade whose participants included members of the local G.A.R. post, the Mattituck Brass Band, the Southold Fire Department, and local citizens (including Samuel S. Vail, a celebrated War of 1812 veteran and then Southold's oldest resident), as well as a speech by the Rev. Stephen H. Camp of the Third Unitarian Church of Brooklyn. In the background at left stands the 1861 Barnabas H. Booth House, a handsome wood-frame Italianate Villa that lacks the usual ornate brackets supporting the roof, but is otherwise replete with the style's characteristic features: tall and narrow paired windows with decorative framing, low-pitched hipped roof with widely projecting eaves, and T-shaped floor plan with prominent corner tower. Its designer, builder and first owner was Barnabas Horton Booth (1812-1900), a local native who earned a small fortune in Brooklyn as a carpenter and dabbler in in local politics (a Democratic-Republican, he served variously as streets commissioner, Superintendent of the Poor, and delegate to the 1846 mayoral convention and campaigned unsuccessfully for the posts of Fourth Ward Alderman and Inspector of Elections), then returned to his hometown in 1861 as a gentleman farmer. Booth lived in the house until his death; it now serves as home of the American Legion's Griswold-Terry-Glover Post 803. |
