This statue of Joan of Arc is on Riverside Drive at 93rd Street. It was dedicated in 1915 during WWI. The designer of its Gothic pedestal "incorporated stones from Rheims Cathedral and stones from the dungeon at the Tower of Rouen into the blind arches of the pedestal," according to the Riverside Park Fund, so it is an authentic example of French Gothic architecture in NY, unlike the example mentioned below at Riverside Church.
