Hi, The statue is of General von Steuben. He is on an island in the middle of Sherman Blvd. I don't know why there is a statue in Milwaukee to him (other than being a famous general during the Revolutionary War or maybe because he was Prussian, a lot of Prussians in Milwaukee) but he's been there for as long as I can remember. The Boulevard Inn is gone but the General is still there!! :) I found this web page for him (_http://www.bergencountyhistory.org/Pages/gnsteuben.html_ (http://www.bergencountyhistory.org/Pages/gnsteuben.html) ) and there is a picture towards the bottom that looks a lot like the way I remember his statue. Hope this helps! Paula In a message dated 1/25/2007 10:18:55 A.M.

It was either in the middle of an intersection or on a corner. Does anyone know what they were and where they were? ******************************************************************** I seem to remember a statue like that somewhere close to the Boulevard Inn restaurant. I think it was somewhere around Washington Park??? or Vliet St.?? Jean
