C. Nichols Parkway, Kansas City, Missouri Remarks:  Sculpture and tower on which it stands is modelled after the Giralda Tower in Seville, Spain. Artist was commissioned by the J. C. Nichols Company to model sculpture after the original, cast in 1568 by Bartholme Morel. The original statue served as a weathervane or giraldillo, hence the Tower's name. The Kansas City Giralda Tower was designed by Mayol Linscott, president of the Tanner-Linscott & Associates, Inc. For the figure of Faith, Zuckerman worked from photographs of the original. IAS files include brochure and information on the Giralda Tower from the Missouri Valley Special Collections file, Kansas City Public Library. Because of sculpture's location atop a tower, its condition could not be assessed. In 2004, Kansas City Adopt A Monument reported that all sculptures owned by the J. C. Nichols company should be changed to Highwoods Property. References:  Save Outdoor Sculpture, Missouri, Kansas City survey, 1994. Kansas City Adopt A Monument, 2004. Illustration:  Image on file.
