The owner and his daughter are looking at the plans and looking out
over the horizon and into the future.
Michael Webb is the artist and can be seen sitting on the steps
sketching. He wanted to include sculptures, familiar in the city.
William
Penn's head is on the left and his feet and shins in the foundry on the

Fountain and civil war memorial figures

Michael Webb: "The artist helps the world by taking truths and giving
them form, so they can seen and affirm the best of the world."
