Large Head On A Roof

Masks for everyone!

As it should be. Though Roadside America rarely publishes selfies, we're living in extraordinarily weird times...

Head.

The Head on Top of McPherson Theater

On top of Illinois Wesleyan University's McPherson Theater Building rests a large head. It was a prop from a production at the theater.

[Doug Dirr, 10/13/2018]

Created in 2002, it was originally the head of Aphrodite. But every spring the head is taken down and repainted by students. One year it became the head of KISS's Gene Simmons.
