Noyes Armillary Sphere
Since 1930
The Noyes Armillary Sphere is a bronze armillary sphere located in Meridian Hill Park, a 12-acre (4.9 ha) urban park in Washington, D.C. It was the fifth artwork installed in the park and was designed by sculptor C. Paul Jennewein, whose other works in the city include the Darlington Memorial Fountain and 57 sculptural elements at the Robert F. Kennedy Department of Justice Building. Artist Bertha Noyes donated $15,000 toward the project's cost in honor of her deceased sister, Edith. The sphere is sited in the park's exedra, south of the Cascading Waterfall and reflecting pool.
