Notes
- Description
- ANSWER: The figure in the statue, which stands on the north lawn of the Hall of Records in the Civic Center, is that of Sen. Stephen M. White (1853-1901), who is known as the Father of Los Angeles Harbor inasmuch as he procured a Federal appropriation for construction of a deep-water harbor at San Pedro. The monument was erected by a grateful citizenry in 1907
- Caption
