- Description
- This is a bronze statue of an Elk that is located in Ridgewood Cemetery on Milwaukee Avenue and Central. The 10 foot statue of the Elk sits on a 7.5 foot high polished granite base, which has B.P.O.E. engraved on it, which is Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. The statue most likely dates from the mid-1920s, not long after the cemetery was founded in 1924. I am a member of the Elks lodge in Des Plaines at 495 Lee Street, and I am trying to find out information about this statue or memorial. Please leave any information you might have here.
