The original wing of the Freeman Hospital is partially shown on the far left, with Sixth Street running across the top third of the image. The building identified by the No. 2 was Pine Hill Printery, the Palace Bowl is behind it and Freeman's baseball field is at the very top.

The statue pictured here stands at Freeman’s Lions Park.
