Description
Funded by a bequest from businessman Joseph Addison Thatcher, the memorial stands along the City Park Esplanade. Architects Maurice Biscoe and Hewitt Wells designed the colonnade, which frames bronze allegorical figures representing Colorado's mining, farming, and smelting industries. The work serves as a historical landmark and a key focal point of public art in City Park.
