Eight Stone Lions
Eight Stone Lions is a set of Bedford limestone or sandstone sculptures by Paul Kupper (?-1908) located in Lake Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States."The bridges were designed by local engineer Oscar Sanne to cross the two branches of the south ravine on either side of the lighthouse, carrying carriage and pedestrian traffic in and out of Lake Park, the original southern entrance to the park.[1] A popular Sunday activity at this time was to take the streetcar to Lake Park, where families would stroll, picnic and listen to a band concert.[1] Kupper also created a 1,200 pound badger cast, which is now on display at the State Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin.In 2014, a truck driver, supposedly following his GPS, mistook the pedestrian path for a road and attempted to drive across the two Lion Bridges.
