Notes
  • Significance: The Vulcan statue is significant as an unusual American colossus created from local material, under technological constraints, to promote regional industry. The Vulcan statue was cast from Birmingham pig iron to promote Alabama's iron industry at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis, Missouri. A feat of the iron founder's art, the fifty-five foot tall Vulcan is reputedly the largest cast iron statue in the world. In 1935, Vulcan was moved to Red Mountain, where a landscaped park was constructed by the Works Progress Administration.
