On 1941, New York City restored the monument. In 1995, the monument again underwent an extensive restoration funded mainly by the Paul and Klara Porzelt Foundation and U.S. Navy Commander (ret) James A. Woodruff Jr.. Worth's great-great grandson.
He and his family have endowed the maintenance of the monument and surrounding planting bed, through the Municipal Art Society's Adopt-A-Monument program.
