I am continuing my research into the many remarkable works, both public & private, old & new, that abound in this city. They will be presented here as I am able to gather photos and information on them. Some are well known, others rarely seen, but all are a testament to the creative skills and craftsmanship of the artists who constructed them.
As this list grows, I will also try and construct a map indicating the location of the various works (01/19/2009) |
