Focus on Statue of George Washington (Indianapolis) and explain the Historical information.
George Washington as Master Mason was sculpted initially from a wax mold at Donald De Lue's studio in Leonard, New Jersey, and copyrighted in 1959. This sculpture was re-cast in 1986 and dedicated May 19, 1987 by the grand master of the Freemasons of Indiana, J.C. Paxton of Warsaw, Indiana.  The total cost of the gift was $100,000.  Lieutenant Governor John Mutz accepted the statue on behalf of the state. George Washington as Master Mason was inspired by sculptor Bryant Baker's work, Illustrious Brother George Washington, which also depicts the subject in a similar pose with Masonic iconography.
