The statue was sculpted by Henry Dexter based on a portrait of Warren by John Singleton Copley.[1] It was commissioned during the 1850s, unveiled and dedicated on June 17, 1857, and originally housed in a temporary structure. A permanent granite lodge to house the sculpture was built by the Monument Association at the start of the 20th century.[2]
