Worth Square, or General Worth Square, is a public square in Manhattan located at East 25th Street between Broadway and Fifth Avenue directly west of Madison Square Park. The location was designated as a public park in 1847, and since 1857 the square has served as both a memorial to and the burial site of William Jenkins Worth.[1] The only other monument that doubles as a mausoleum is Grants Tomb in Harlem. The 0.27 acre square is one of the many Triangle/Plazas administered by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.[1]

History

Main article: General William Jenkins Worth Monument

Worth's monument, which was erected in 1857,[2] was one of the first to be erected in a city park since the statue of George III was removed from Bowling Green in 1776.[3] The city's second-oldest monument, it is the only one in the city except for Grant's Tomb that doubles as a mausoleum.[4]

In spring 2017, as part of a capital reconstruction of Worth Square, Broadway between 24th and 25th Street was converted to a "shared street" where through vehicles are banned and delivery vehicles are restricted to 5 miles per hour (8.0 km/h). The capital project expands on a 2008 initiative where part of the intersection of Broadway and Fifth Avenue was repurposed into a public plaza, simplifying that intersection.[5] As part of the 2017 project, Worth Square was expanded, converting the adjoining block of Broadway into a "shared street."[6]
