Lady Victory: All eyes fall on me as I am THE center of the city perched atop the Indiana Soldiers and Sailors Monument over 284 ft. above Monument Circle (only 15 ft. shorter than the Statue of Liberty!). Made of limestone and designed by German architect Bruno Schmitz, I was dedicated in 1902. For the past 118 years I have symbolized the City of Indianapolis and commemorated the service of Indiana’s heroes who served before World War I. Much needed structural and cosmetic repairs led to my first trip off the statue in the spring of 2011. Now I am looking better than ever! Location: Monument Circle

Lady Spray: The enthusiastic persistence of my Fountain Square neighbors led to my rededication in 2010.

Today, I stand in the center of all that is the funky and eclectic – Fountain Square Cultural District. Location: intersection of Virginia Avenue, Prospect and Shelby Streets.
