In 2016, the monument underwent some renovation work which included polishing the bronze statue and plaque and repointing the granite base.[2] The cost of the restoration work was approximately $10,000 for the city.[3] The statue was rededicated on November 10 of that year, which was both the United States Marine Corps birthday and the day before Veterans Day,[6] in an event that included multiple speakers and culminated in a wreath laying ceremony by Power's relatives.[3]
Design
The monument consists of an 8-foot (2.4 m) tall granite pedestal with a bronze tablet affixed to its front. Atop this pedestal is an 8-foot (2.4 m) tall bronze statue of Power. The plaque describes Power's actions during the war and features a signature by Roosevelt.[2] Power is depicted with a rifle over his shoulder and a hand on his hip.[3]
The statue is located on the south side of City Hall, on Franklin Street,[1] and faces towards Holy Cross.[6]
