The building stands at the corner of N. 1st Street and W. Lillie. The sculptures are on a widened portion of the sidewalk which extends into W. Lillie. Two portions of this sculpture stands several feet apart, but the theme is the same, and we believe they were created as one unit. We have named them Summer Fun, but we found no artist name on the sculptures and could find no information online.
The sculpture closest to the building shows a young boy sitting on a branch of a tree stump. He is dressed in shorts and Tshirt, with a hat. He is fishing in a simulated river constructed alongside him, and at the end of his fishing pole, there is a fish. On top of the tree stump is a bucket filled with caught fish.
A few feet away is a bronze fallen tree trunk across this creek and standing on the log are three children, a girl and two boys. They, too, are dressed in shorts and each has their arms extended as they fight for balance on the log.
