    Remarks: 
    Sculpture was created by a seventy-year old Bavarian man and fabricated by the Royal Art Academy of Munich. It was a gift to the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ by the Gaul Brothers of Chicago. Herman Gaul was the architect of the building, which was completed in 1923; Christopher Gaul was the contractor; Jacob Gaul was proprietor of Daprato Statuary Company in Chicago. Sculpture was blessed by Rev. Joseph Daniel Metzler. Mary originally wore a crown, and it is now displayed in the building. IAS files contain an information sheet, and a brochure entitled "Welcome! Self-Guided Walking Tour," both from the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ Ministry Center.
