Monumental Building Produced by the Shelby County Historical Society in 1997
A fund was started in Sidney by surviving soldiers and their friends, immediately after the close of the Civil War. Initially, the desire was to erect a marble shaft to memorialize the war dead, but when an anonymous letter to the editor suggested a building instead, a lottery was conceived to raise money for this project, and was completed in 1877.
The gabled center pediment of the facade contains a niche holding the bronze "Soldier in Blue", (‘Sergeant Baker’) created by the J.W. Fiske Company (NY) and installed in 1900.
