Description:
Using two old photographs of Phineas Banning, sculptor Eugene Daubs created this seven-foot tall bronze statue to commemorate Banning's many achievements. Phineas Banning, a developer from the 1850s-1870s, was founder of the Port of Los Angeles. Daub portrayed Banning with his sleeves rolled up and a coil of rope slung over one shoulder to capture his industrious nature.
