− | + | [[Lee Square]] is a memorial park in [[downtown Pensacola]]. It is located between the north- and south-bound lanes of [[Palafox Street]], between [[Jackson Street|Jackson]] and [[Gadsden Street]]s. Formerly known as '''Florida Park''', the [[North Hill]] location was the site of a Union fort during the [[Civil War]]. It was renamed Lee Square, after Confederate General Robert E. Lee, in 1891. A statue at the center of the park is dedicated to Confederate President Jefferson Davis (whose likeness tops the statue), Secretary of the Navy [[Stephen Russell Mallory]], Florida Governor [[Edward Aylesworth Perry]], and "our Confederate dead." | |
