The sculpture was created from a much small sculpture by Auguste Moreau. The Inscription on a nearby plaque reads: THE OHIO MASONIC HOME ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OFFERS GRATEFUL RECOGNITION OF THE LOVING CARE ENJOYED BY THE MANY CHILDREN OF MASONS NURTURED IN THE HOME FROM 1897 TO 1856. THE DEVOTION TO THESE YOUNG LIVES EMBODIES THE HIGH IDEALS OF FREEMASONRY. IAS files contain a copy of an article from the Springfield News-Sun (Sept. 18, 2006).
