Sculpture of a man working on the 1915 Thomas Lowry memorial at Smith Triangle Park in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - The monument was designed by Austrian-born sculptor Karl Bitter. The inscription reads: Be this community strong and enduring it will do homage to the men who guided its growth. In the dedication of the monument in 1915, Rev. Dr. Marion Shutter delivered an address in which he said, “How grandly has the sculptor done his work! This heroic figure needs no emblazoned name to identify the original. It seems almost as if Karl Bitter had stood by the door of that little Greek temple at Lakewood (Lakewood cemetery where Lowry was interred), and had said: ‘Thomas Lowry, come forth!’”
