10. Sherman Square
Sherman Square, at 70th and 71st Streets and Broadway, was named for the Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman. In addition to such noteworthy accomplishments as his March to the Sea and burning of Atlanta, General Sherman was a West Point graduate, businessman, and lawyer. The square was dedicated to him because of its proximity to his New York residence, where he died. His statue, originally in his Square, is now on the Grand Army Plaza in front of the Plaza Hotel.
