Picture History: The Alonzo Hauser Flagpole

Alonzo Hauser was commissioned to design a flag pole sculpture for Greendale in 1938. Carved of limestone quarried at Currie Park in Milwaukee and dedicated in 1939, the sculpture displays six figures standing on a raised platform. The figures represent the people who would build and live in Greendale, and include a laborer with a shovel and another with a sledgehammer, a mother and child, a young woman with a tennis racket, and man in a suit and tie.
