Parts of Detroit's Old City Hall Tossed Aside

Photos taken in 2002 at public event at a Detroit city-owned historic site. These are all parts of a tower that stood atop the 1868 Detroit City Hall (which was unwisely demolished to make way for the Kennedy Square/parking Garage in the 1960's). Just before demolition, the statues were taken apart and ,with the once-famous 1870 bell, were supposed to be stored away for future generations. Instead, we saw them, partly embedded in mud on a hillside, lying scattered in pieces, victims to neglect and the elements. Though I was told that the bell has been moved to another (supposedly safer) outdoor display area, I do not know the fate of the statues.
