I've passed through Grand Army Plaza without ever wondering about it for years, but it turns out to be a Civil War memorial named after a fraternal order of Northern forces. This is the back side of The Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Arch, designed by John H. Duncan with statuary by Frederick MacMonnies.
