About this postcard

A tall column topped by a standing figure rises from a small fenced, landscaped triangle in the middle of Broadway, with brick row houses, trees and a few pedestrians in view. The card names it the Thomas Wildey Monument, Broadway, Baltimore. Thomas Wildey (1782-1861) founded the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in North America at Baltimore in 1819, and the fraternal order raised this memorial column in the 1860s at Broadway and Fayette Street, where it long served as a local landmark.
