San Francisco - Lincoln Park: Jeanne d'Arc

            Joan of Arc, also known as Jeanne d'Arc, was one of four replicates cast circa 1922 after a 1915 original sculpture by Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington that is sited in New York City's Riverside Park.  The 12-foot bronze equestrian statue, a gift of Archer M. Huntington, was presented to the Palace of the Legion of Honor in 1926 and mounted atop G. Albert Lansburgh's 8-foot high, rectangular, multitiered granite base with an upper border of a repeated cross and fleur-de-lys design, and a lower border of acanthus.

Lincoln Park, covering about 100 acres of the northwestern corner of the San Francisco Peninsula, was dedicated to President Abraham Lincoln in 1909.  The park is the Western Terminus of Lincoln Highway, which was conceived and mapped in 1913 as the first coast-to-coast road across America, traversing 14 states.  It stands on land that was a cemetery during the late 1860s.  After local enthusiasts laid out a three-hole golf course in 1902, the land was turned over to the parks commission in 1909 and the graves were relocated.  The course was expanded to 14 holes by 1914 and to a full 18 by 1917.  In 1923, the park was chosen as the site of the California Palace of the Legion of Honor and the San Francisco Holocaust Memorial, designed by George Segal, was dedicated in the park in 1984.
