Adohr Milkmaid and Cow

This particular Adohr statue was installed at this location in 1930 when Adohr Farms began operations in Tulare with a creamery. It is now the last surviving statue out of the 25 which were originally made for Adohr. The creamery building itself pre-dates Adohr and was first built as a creamery in 1919.

Adohr Milkmaid and Cow

The Adohr Milkmaid, cow, and milkmaid's daughter is a statue group sculpted in the 1920s. It stood for over 40 years at the Adohr Creamery Co. in West Los Angeles, at the corner of La Cienega Blvd and Sawyer St. The creamery was torn down for a shopping center in 1969, but the company that had bought the creamery rescued the statue and moved it to one of its processing plants in Tulare.

By the late 1990s the statue was in bad shape, but it now looks as if it's been cleaned and repaired.
