The Memorial Arch, atop which the figure was attached, is a contributing object to this National Register property. The cemetery is located at: Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery 2900 Sullivan Avenue Columbus, OH 43204 The 17-foot sandstone arch was erected in 1902. An upright, zinc Confederate soldier figure manufactured by the Monumental Bronze Co., Bridgeport, CT, stood atop the center of the arch. The arch and figure underwent conservation treatment in 2010. At that time the zinc figure was removed for repair. Missing components of the statue, including socket of the bayonet, trigger, hammer, ramrod, end of the barrel, end of the bayonet s scabbard, and one strap of the canteen, were refashioned and soldered to statue; metal plates were affixed to the underside of the statue to distribute weight evenly across the base; cracks in the brim of the hat, the top of each shoulder, and on the bottom of the bedroll were filled with solder; cracks in the left knee, ears, tail end of the bedroll, and between bedroll and pant leg were filled with grey color-matched epoxy; and the statue was cleaned to remove residues from previous coatings and new components painted to match. It was then reinstalled with new bronze anchor bolts. In August 2017, the statue was vandalized; the figure was pulled down from atop the arch and its head cut off. The head was not recovered. At this time the body, hat, and other pieces are securely stored off-site at Dayton National Cemetery, Dayton, OH.
