My Commentary:
This 7ft. metal statue of the classical figure of Justice is located above the western entrance of the Franklin County Courthouse. The figure is blindfolded and is holding the balanced scales of Justice in her left hand and has a longsword pointed downward in her right hand. She is wearing several layers of garments. The sculpture itself is made of an undetermined metal.
