This photo was taken in the mid 1950's, probably in the Cleveland area or somewhere near Lake Erie. The only letters I can make out on the base appear to be JA_______OOD. Thanks in advance for your help.

This statue I have never seen in the city of Cleveland...

This is a tough one.

Close to the lake...

Gordon Park?

I can't identify & I was born & raised in Cleveland. my suggestion is to call the downtown Cleveland Public Library & talk to one of their staff. Maybe you can email them the picture. Also try emailing or calling the Western Reserve Historical Society located in Cleveland. They are both usually a great help. Good Luck! I am curious too.

Outdoor Sculpture and Monuments in Greater Cleveland (Cuyahoga County)
(Alphabetically by Title)

Not on this list....

Now you have me hooked..can you provide more info? Who are the people,where did they live...any thoughts or clues?

Why do you think it is in Cleveland or Cuyahoga County?

One other note. I was born the year after the Indians won the world series, and will probably die the year before they win it again.

I can not get over the resemblance to John D.Rockfeller?

The surroundings look as though they are University Circle Area or the Downtown Mall...

I can find nothing and the letters do not match up.

I lived on W.97 near Denison and am a tribe fan too...moved to the Atlanta area the same year the Indians choked...man did I catch some hell!
