HOUSTON The statue of a Confederate commander that has stood in Houston for more than a century will be removed Wednesday afternoon, sources said. The monument to Robert Dick Dowling was erected in 1905 and is located at the entrance to Hermann Park on Cambridge Street. Turner said he wants to relocate the Dowling statue to the Sabine Pass Battleground State Historic Site in Port Arthur, Texas. A statue called the Spirit of the Confederacy was removed from Sam Houston Park late Tuesday night. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said the statues will be placed in storage for the time being.
