The East Tower Elevation of the Dorchester Heights Monument, in South Boston, shows the granite obelisk as its designers drew it, with its proportions laid out flat and without perspective. The monument marks Dorchester Heights, the hill that American forces seized in March 1776, a move that threatened British positions in Boston and helped prompt the British evacuation of the city that month. Dorchester Heights became part of the Boston National Historic Park, and the monument commemorates that episode of the Revolutionary War. An elevation drawing like this one is worth studying for its exact detailing, since it records the monument's design intent rather than how it looks from a single vantage point.
