Boy with the Leaking Boot Boy with the leaking boot is located in a courtyard at 2220 Tulare St. [Joe Boulter, 03/12/2009][RA: More Boys with Leaking Boots.]
Ensuing vandalism resulted in the statue being stored a few years later, but in 1947 it was recast in bronze by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. It was re-erected in a different location, and in 1954 it was moved again. Vandals struck again, and in 1969 the statue was back in storage.
In 1997 it was again restored, and placed in the Fresno County Plaza, in a place it will likely be safer and able to stay for the foreseeable future. [Donna Rosetta-Hansen, 10/14/2008]
