The two story building on the left is the former Stonewall Inn, the garden is in Stonewall Park, and the statue is of Civil War general . . . Phil Sheridan, not Stonewall Jackson. The Inn is the site of the 1969 Stonewall riots, which led to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBT rights. The name was probably inherited from a nearby bar dating to the 1930's and named after The Stone Wall, a lesbian autobiography by Mary Casal.
