In the context of Bust of Sherman Minton, explain the Location history of the Historical information.
Cast in New York and transported to Indianapolis, the bust was originally housed in a prominent niche outside the governor's office at the statehouse rotunda, displacing a bust of George Washington, which was moved to an upper floor.  A statement by the governor's private secretary at the time suggested that this was simply because the Washington bust was made of plaster and the Minton bust of bronze, and that the Minton bust would be a better aesthetic match for an adjoining bronze piece.
A 1976 catalog lists the bust's location at the statehouse as the southwest corner pier of the central rotunda, facing south.  This continues to be its current location as of 2011.
