James Michael Curley Park

James Michael Curley Park is defined by two bronze statues that capture the dual nature of one of Boston’s most polarizing politicians. Dedicated in nineteen eighty and created by sculptor Lloyd Lillie, the memorial features a seated figure of James Michael Curley waiting on a bench alongside a standing, barrel-chested version of himself. These twin bronzes sit at the intersection of Congress and North streets, honoring a man who served four terms as mayor and one term as governor during the first half of the twentieth century.
