Excerpt from Monuments, Tablets and Other Memorials: Erected in Massachusetts to Commemorate the Service of Her Sons in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865 The gilded dome of the State House has long been an object of admiration, almost of veneration, with some. The Governor who first warranted the gilding of this great surface was N. P. Banks, J r., and there are those who affirm that the unusual sight of a gilded bronze statue of the soldier and Governor, standing near the northeast corner of the State House grounds, is owing to a desire to have the two objects in unison. Be this as it may, it is certain that the figure of General Banks, authorized by legislative act, and costing was dedicated Sept. 16, 1908. Though the inscription upon the base of the monument gives details of the General's military service, he is depicted in civilian garb and pose. The artist was H. H. Kitson of Quincy, and the orator at the dedicatory exercises was the Hon. Herbert L. Parker, ex-attorney General of the Commonwealth.
