Oone of the Guardians of Traffic, which are massive 43-foot tall Art Deco sandstone pylons located on the Hope Memorial Bridge in Cleveland, Ohio. Completed in 1932, these sculptures were designed by sculptor Henry Hering and architect Frank Walker to symbolize progress in transportation. Each of the four pairs of pylons features a guardian holding a different type of vehicle, ranging from early covered wagons to modern motorized cars of that era. The statues have become iconic landmarks, famously inspiring the new name for Cleveland's professional baseball team, the Cleveland Guardians.
