Elk, Bronze sculpture in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, US
The Elk sculpture stands prominently in Cathedral Square Park, featuring a large male elk mounted on a granite base measuring twelve feet in height.
Created in 1901 as a memorial drinking fountain, the Elk sculpture incorporates water spouts and basins that served both humans and animals.
The sculpture reflects the influence of wildlife representation in American urban art during the early twentieth century manufacturing era.
Visitors can access the sculpture daily through multiple entrances to Cathedral Square Park, including Jefferson Street and Kilbourn Avenue.
The sculpture serves as both a decorative monument and a functional water source, incorporating bronze animal heads that release water into collection basins.
