Completion
Date: 1994 Artist: Otto Rigan Location: City Hall, 200 W. Washington
The
artist created a nine-feet by two-feet thick semi-circular
stone wall. This rough hewn wall encloses a space
that is 50’ in diameter. Two flagstone-covered
walkways slowly descend into the memorial so that
the visitor is almost three feet below the average
grade of the surrounding plaza. The 60’
inner wall cradles five sweeping tiers of glass
bricks. These glass bands are made up of solid
case glass “bricks” on which the names
and departments of City employees who have lost
their lives in the line of duty are engraved.
