Statue of Dean Halsey - MU

Commissioned in 1906 and erected two years later, the grateful citizens of Arkham subscribed to and paid for this statue, honoring the beneficent doctor’s contributions, and his final sacrifice during the plague of 1905. The statue is nine feet high and stands upon a carved Carrara marble pedestal seven feet tall, gazing benignly upon Church Street. A small garden surrounds it, complete with benches and pigeons.
