WWI Servicemen’s Memorial at Herring Run Park
Location: Belair Road & Shannon Drive – (Street View)
A Servicemen’s Memorial is inconspicuously placed within a large bush on the edge of Herring Run Park. At the corner of Belair Road and Shannon Drive, the monument displays an eagle atop a scroll containing the names of Belair community members that died during WWI. Edward Berge, one of Baltimore’s most important realist sculptors, was commissioned to create the memorial. Dedicated in 1921, the sculpture’s condition is decent, yet could stand some attention. The 200 year old Columbus Obelisk towers nearby.
