Boy With a Boot

There is a historical museum in what once was the City Hall. The museum features a lot of neat stuff, such as one of a series of old automobiles once built in Wichita, called "The Jones Six." It sort of resembles an old Model "T." Also, there is a "Boy With a Boot" statue/fountain inside the museum, which once stood in Wichita's Riverside Park.

Faces carved in stone, near the building's entrances resemble a fellow who was mayor when the City Hall was built in the 1880s. [Don Fraysier, 02/24/1999]
