Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph appears with the article, "Statue Site Considered," Los Angeles Times, 04 Dec 1935: A1. The statue of Stephen M. White shows the man standing upright with his right arm raised, mounted atop a large pillar baring his birth and death years (1853-1901). The debate over where to relocate Stephen M. White's statue lies between Catalina Terminal in Wilmington Park or within the city of Los Angeles, where he fought his legal battles. Text from newspaper caption: Standing before the partially demolished County Courthouse, this bronze statue of Senator Stephen M. White is the center of a controversy. At stake is the problem of where to re-erect the monument of the father of Los Angeles Harbor. Handwritten on negative: Statue of Stephen M. White 12-3-35 Text from negative sleeve: 4098 - Statue of Stephen M. White in front of old Courthouse 12-3-35 [stamped:] Dec 20 1935
