Heights are the statue alone, without pedestal, base or tower, from the source linked on each name, checked Nov 2026. Where a source doesn’t separate a statue from the platform it stands on, we use the height it gives the statue. Buildings shaped like figures, such as Lucy the Elephant, and abstract works are left out.

In the territories, Birth of the New World in Arecibo, PR stands about 360 ft including its base.

Just George Washington: the tallest statues of Washington. By state: Texas, California, Florida.
