Description
ANSWER: Sure, it's the memorial to the late U.S. Sen. Frank Putnam Flint on the south, or 1st St., lawn of the City Hall. It was erected and dedicated in 1933. A prominent Southland attorney and developer before his death in 1929, Flint also was the founder of Flintridge Estate.
KNOW YOUR CITY, NO.77 -- This is getting too easy. Even if you didn’t know, you can read the man's name on this memorial fountain. Added hint: There's a community named after him. That leaves only the problem: Where is this? Answers on Page 30, Part ll.
