Theodore Roosevelt, Rough Rider by Phimister Proctor, New York artist, 1922. Bronze Sculpture. Cast during the height of American art's monumental period.

"Teddy" is wearing a Spanish-American war uniform and riding a horse. His pony was called "Texas." His larger horse, "Rain-in-the-Face," drowned in the confusion of landing in San Juan. A tribute to Roosevelt is inscribed on a bronze plaque at its base on the north side.
