This looked like it might be significant – perhaps something to do with the sadness of WWII? So we asked a passing Park Ranger. Alas, not. The concrete post that says 1939 is simply a property boundary marker. The statue is by an artist whose work FDR saw at the Colombian Exhibition and liked so he ordered a piece from the artist. When this sculpture arrived, he hated it and banished it to the farthest reaches of his property.
what a great backstory on that photo. That is a sculpture of banishment if there ever was one.
Thank you!
