Constructed back in 1969, Laureate ain't your average statue. This 12-foot-tall metal fella was commissioned by the Allen-Bradley Company in memory of its founding legend, Harry Lynde Bradley. You can find him soaking up the sun on the east bank of the Milwaukee River, nestled comfortably at 929 North Water Street, not too far from the Performing Arts Center. This abstract artwork, designed by Seymour Lipton in 1969, has an air of mystery about it - leaving its purpose up to you to figure out, making it all the more intriguing.
