National Statuary Hall Collection and Phoenix

The Greenway statue was replaced in the Statuary Hall Collection by a statue of Barry Goldwater by Deborah Copenhaver Fellows in 2015.[4] The Greenway statue was relocated in the Polly Rosenbaum Archives and History Building in Phoenix where it presides over the entrance lobby in a niche designed for the work. On the wall behind the statue is a large photograph of Borglum working on the almost completed statue.
