2008 Challenge, Week 26: The Sentinel

The Sentinel

Week 26 of the 2008 Challenge.
This piece of public art is a relatively new figurative replica of a former statue located on the same site until 1940.
It is assumed the original was sacrificed to the war effort, but others say it may have blown over in a storm.
Modified from the original as it appeared in historical photos, the statue is intended to reflect the sensibility of turn of the century art which would fit with the architecture of the immediate surroundings.
Located at Park Place and Washington Avenue in Point Richmond.
