The James Cardinal Gibbons Memorial Statue is a public artwork by Leo Lentelli, located at the Shrine of the Sacred Heart, 16th Street and Park Road Northwest, Washington, D.C.
The James Cardinal Gibbons Memorial Statue was originally surveyed as part of the Smithsonian's Save Outdoor Sculpture!
It is a bronze figure of James Gibbons seated, wearing cardinals robes.
The base, which is made of granite and stands at H. 8 ft. x W. 10 ft., and weighs 2,500 pounds, has a relief of a shield topped with an ecclesiastical hat called a galero.
They chose to dedicate a sculpture on behalf of Gibbons because of his "preeminence as a great American."
