Physical description: 1 photograph : digital, tiff file, color. Sisson's map.English: Title: The statue of Clio, muse of history, dominates the Clio, or lower, garden at the Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens in the River Oaks neighborhood of Houston, Texas For the original locations of all the removed and relocated monuments see G.E. Before 1937, when Clio was removed, at least 13 monuments were within 500 feet of the Muse's location.The Battle Monument, the Davidson and Nash Arches (all since removed) as well as the Greene Monument would also have been visible from Clio's location. This main-street of monuments would have been the center of memorization in an American "Mecca" the creators hoped to build. The former location of many of these monuments is now overgrown. The others have since been moved or destroyed. Of these seven monuments only the Caldwell remains in its original location. To the east of Clio one would have walked down the road past the Battle of Alamance monument, the James Hunter Monuments, The Battle of Kings Mountain Monument, the David Schenck monument and Joseph Morehead statue before finally reaching the Caldwell marker. In under 500 feet visitors would have passed seven monuments. Landscape: Clio was the first in a line of seven monuments that once stood along a line along the Old Battle Ground Road (now a walking path).
