This is at the foot of Wilshire boulevard just a block or so north of Santa Monica Blvd.
Jake,
Thanks for the correction! I’ve changed the entry to ‘foot of Wilshire Boulevard’. If you have any further information or photos, please send them to us.

Just for accuracy, the location of this statue is at the terminus of Wilshire Blvd where it intersects with Ocean Ave. It sits its on the West side of Ocean Ave in Palisades Park (two blocks North of Santa Monica Blvd – to correct another comment)
Is there a museum archive that holds drawings, sketches, etc by Eugene Morahan?
