Statue of Orville H. Platt - U.S. Senator and Connecticut Statesman #271827 (License: Personal Use)

This full-length statue depicts Orville Hitchcock Platt (1827-1905), a prominent U.S. Senator from Connecticut and influential figure in late-19th-century American politics. Crafted in classical style, the sculpture shows him in formal 19th-century attire-long coat, waistcoat, and trousers-with one hand resting on a pedestal bearing the initials “OFS,” likely referencing his role in founding or supporting an institution. The weathered stone base and expressive pose convey gravitas and statesmanship.
