Last updated November 7, 2020 by ZagBot Comment

There are two bronze statues in Duffy Square, the northern triangle of Times Square in Manhattan, New York City, one of Chaplain Francis P Duffy and the other of musical theater star George M Cohan.

The statue of Father Duffy, a military chaplain and priest after whom the square is named, was sculpted by Charles Keck and dedicated on May 2nd, 1937, and stands in front of the TKTS red stairs.

The statue of composer, playwright, actor, and theatrical producer George M Cohan by sculptor Georg J Lober stands a little further south and was formally unveiled on September 11, 1959.
