Ninety-eight busts of presidents, statesmen, scientists, inventors, artists and humanitarians stand side by side in the Colonnade, designed by Stanford White, which overlooks a magnificent view stretching from the Harlem River to the Cloisters in Fort Tryon Park. Those honored include Alexander Graham Bell, who patented the telephone, writers Edgar Allan Poe and Walt Whitman, Red Cross founder Clara Barton, sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, educator Booker T. Washington and aviation pioneers Wilbur and Orville Wright. Each great American is commemorated with a bronze bust and tablet bearing a summary of his or her accomplishments. Elections to the hall are held every three years by an assembly of 100 distinguished Americans. Who are the Great Americans, who were the artists that portrayed them--and what does it all say about Americans both past and present?
