Support Cool, do you know if the sculpture is supposed to be anyone in particular? Cmao20 (talk) 01:15, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
According to this [1] the sculptures at the doorway are just idealized figures - the one on the other side is a Viking (!). Other terra cotta sculptures on the building were of historical figures. All of them were executed by Olin Levi Warner in 1881. I'll add some of that to the description. Acroterion (talk) 01:33, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support Good focus on a detail of the façade that most people just overlook otherwise. --Cart (talk) 11:34, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
