| 8 Charles P. Taft II, Memorial 1988 Timothy S. Werrell (b. 1957) brass on base faced with slate Christ Church, Sycamore & East Fourth Street |
 |
| Timothy Werrell designed this abstract sculpture to represent the spirit of Mr. Taft's loyalty to both church and state. A man of religious conviction, Charles Taft (1897-1983) served Christ Church vestry for 50 years, as well as holding national ecumenical office. A long-time local political leader who received the nickname "Mr. Cincinnati," Taft held offices as mayor and councilman. The sculpture was a private commission and presented to the church as a gift. <- PREVIOUS | NEXT -> |
