Facing the corner of East fourth and Lawrence Streets, this statue was modeled in bronze by George Grey Barnard, and was presented to the City of Cincinnati by Mr. and Mrs. Charles P Taft on March 31, 1917. From left to right in the background is the Anna Louise Inn, a residential hotel home for young women; the Marine Memorial, which bears the names of fifty-four Cincinnati Marines who fell during the World War: and the Michael Mullen Memorial Band-Stand, erected in 1935 by friends of this popular former councilman and civic leader."
