Milam County Court House
Cameron, Texas
Sheet Metal Statuary for Court House Exterior, Lady of Justice
Similar to the Statue of Liberty, the original tower, clad with a decorative sheet metal skin rising above a Mansard roof; the clock; and the statue of the "Goddess of Justice" (which had been used for illegal target practice) were removed in 1938 during World War II. This was in response to the need for more metal for the War efforts. The metal skin and the clock itself were used for the war. The statue was put in a safe place, just in case it would later be put back on top. In fact, the place is so safe that after over fifty years, the statue still hasn't been found and was reproduced by Heather & Little Limited.
Sheet metal statue of the Goddess of Justice, reproduced from drawings by H&L;, using reprose (repousse) techniques.
