Suzzallo Library, University of Washington

These photos were taken by Dr. Robert Christian, Pastor of Heritage Congregational Church, Spokane, WA, on October 1, 2007.
During the late winter and early spring of 1924, sculptor Allan Clark created 18 three-quarter life size statues for placement on the exterior of the new Suzzallo Library being constructed on the Seattle campus of the University of Washington.  Those statues were sculpted and fired at the terra cotta works of the Washington Brick, Lime, and Sewer Pipe Company in Clayton, Washington.  Below are photos of 14 of those terra cotta statues.  For the complete story of how these wonderful artifacts came into being, check the website's menu for this album's companion page, "Creating the Suzzallo Statues".

Picture
These are Allan Clark's work but were commissioned and finished at least a year prior to the Clayton Terra Cotta statues. These were made of "cast stone." A material man made by unknown measures. They were cast about 1926 and have retained a certain pleasant gleam to this day. The statues are allegorical but were modeled by real people in Allan Clark's studio in Tacoma, WA. This figure represents "Inspiration."
