Giant Shriner Statue, Louisville, KY

Giant Shriner Statue, Louisville, KY



The statue stands in front of the Ronald McDonald House, Home of the Innocents in Louisville, KY. He holds a child in one arm and his crutch in the other; wearing his Shriner Fez he represents the fight for the physically challenged and needy children of Louisville.
Inspired by a 1970 photo of Shriner Albert Hort.  The sculpture was designed by Randy Dieter and represents the Shriner's Hospitals for Children. The Temple on S. 2nd St. still features a giant fez over the entrance.
