Spotted in my hood…never realized it was there as it’s on a side street I rarely walk on!

Large statue of bearded man in top hat on green chair with bird on his shoulder.

The woodpecker is how I spotted it at first. It was part of the public hearings for the monstrous building waaaaay back. 😳

Is there a plaque or a story? Kind of a giant Lego man?

It’s a wonderful piece! I’ve wandered that neighbourhood so often when I was up caring for mum, and never saw it. Now the meaning makes it special. Thanks for sharing🤗

Didn’t notice any sign of any sort..it’s quite large & tucked away.
