Monument Square in Lenoir, North Carolina, seen across a paved open plaza. A tall white obelisk monument stands among shrubs and trees at the center, with a red brick commercial block on the left and a long light-colored brick building with rows of windows on the right; a flowering tree blooms in front of it. Lenoir, the seat of Caldwell County, grew as a market town in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, and its downtown square served as a civic gathering place. The monument anchors the view as the square's focal point.
