| The 1914 statue of Goethe at the north end of Lincoln Park (JWB Photo) |
On this date in
1951 the Goethe monument just south of Diversey Boulevard was found cracked and
twisted, the victim of an apparent lightning strike. The Chicago Tribune in its report observed
that “several cracks were found in the bronze statue and stone base and the
entire structure appeared to have been twisted.”
Hundreds of
residents had been awakened during the night by a “mysterious blast,” which may
have been the bolt that struck the 1914 statue (look here for the story of the
monument). George T. Donoghue, the
general superintendent of parks, ordered that the statue be barricaded and that
the police department conduct an investigation to ascertain the cause of the
damage.
