Editing Embassy Row (section)

==Statuary==

The monumental setting of the Row has favored the erection of many memorials and statues. They are erected either on private grounds, many of them by the embassies to showcase a prominent national figure, or on public (federal) land following an [[Act of Congress]], including the successive Circles and several triangular parks created by the intersections between the diagonal avenue and the [[L'Enfant Plan]] grid. A special case is the [[Statue of Winston Churchill (Washington, D.C.)|statue of Winston Churchill]], which has one foot on the grounds of the [[British Embassy, Washington|British Embassy]] and the other on federal land to symbolize the UK-US alliance.<ref>{{cite web|website=dcMemorials.com|url=http://www.dcmemorials.com/index_indiv0001472.htm|title=CHURCHILL, Winston: Statue at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C.|access-date=2014-05-03|archive-date=2011-08-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110819015318/http://www.dcmemorials.com/index_indiv0001472.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>
