The erection of this pole[[FootNote(You have a dirty dirty mind.)]] took place in 1965. The original was built in 1846, constructed from wood, and evetually toppled. A similar fate met its succesor which was destroyed by a storm the day after Christmas in 1889. However, as the third and current pole at this location suggests: you can't keep liberty down[[FootNote(Just away from relevant protest areas.)]]. + + The current pole was designed by local architect ["James H. Johnson"].
