Lasalle Street Chicago header south towards CBOT
These two statues in the LaSalle Plaza of the Chicago Board of Trade building, one symbolizing industry and the other agriculture once made their home atop the original Board of Trade building in 1885. The statures were thought to be lost forever when the building was demolished in 1929. The 12ft 1/2 ton statues were found in 1978 in Hidden Lake Forest Preserve in Downer's Grove Illinois. The forest preserve was the former estate of Arthur Cutten, a prominent Chicago Board of Trade speculator in the 1900's. How the statues made the journey from LaSalle Street to the Cutten estate remains a mystery.
