Career
Menconi realised the bronze architectural sculptures and fittings for a generation of Beaux-Arts architects, such as Carrère and Hastings. Menconi"s bronze flagpole bases for the Fifth Avenue front of the New York Public Library (1912, illustrated) are particularly prominent. Another pair of bronze flagpole bases by Menconi, showing an American eagle and representations of the four seasons, to designs of Egerton Swartwout, stand before the Missouri State Capitol.
His work also appears on the Readers" Digest building in Chappaqua New York, and in the Mountain.
Auburn Cemetery in Boston. The Menconi Family lived in an Italianate house designed by Mr.
Menconi in Hastings-on-Hudson New York for many years.
