Wolf's Head Ornament from Ladd Block
Wolf's Head Ornament

Ladd Block
1881

This embossed wolf's head ornament was originally part of the Ladd Block's cornice, which was topped by a matching mansard roof.

Some building artifacts, including this piece, were salvaged by Ben Franklin Savings & Loan in 1976 after the demolition of the Ladd Block. This galvanized metal piece was donated to the Bosco-Milligan Foundation by Christopher Boyd in 2006.
