[email protected] PROPERTY DESCRIPTION PIONEER MONUMENT - FULTON STREET right-of-way, between Hyde and Larkin Streets, between Assessor’s Block 0353 and Block 0354. Dedicated in 1894 and sculpted by the artist Frank H. Happersberger, the Pioneer Monument is a sculptural installation that was originally installed at the intersection of Hyde and Grove Streets, but was relocated in 1993 to its present location in the Fulton Street right-of-way on axis with City Hall. The monument consists of 5 separate freestanding bronze sculptures: a large central figure and 4 surrounding figural sculptures, each of which is mounted onto an ornamental granite base. Bronze lettering identifies the names of the four figural sculptures surrounding the central figure. The monument is surrounded by a low metal fence on a landscaped island in the center of Fulton Street. The monument is located in a P (Public) Zoning District and an 80-X Height and Bulk District. It is within the boundaries of the Civic Center Landmark District, which is listed as a National Historic Landmark.
