About this postcard

The Pingree Monument in Detroit's Grand Circus Park shows a bronze seated figure of a bearded man in a chair on a tall granite pedestal inscribed "HAZEN S. PINGREE." Trees surround the memorial. Hazen S. Pingree (1840–1901) served four terms as Detroit's mayor and then as governor of Michigan, and was known for public works and poor relief in the 1890s. The monument was dedicated in 1904, three years after his death.
