Carol Paul Jennewein Sculpture
Condition Survey 2009
Prominent New York City and Willimasport, PA architect William Gehron commissioned the building's frieze, created by Carl Paul Jennewein, which contains a series of medallions and maxims that pay tribute to the Commonwealth's economic vitality and recognizes forty-eight incorporated cities. Oil City is represented by a depiction of an early oil refinery, Pittsburgh by Fort Pitt, and Erie by the U.S. Brig Niagara. Jennewein worked closely with H.B. Alexander, whose philosophical precepts were incorporated in the frieze as axioms to describe the services offered by the Commonwealth: All Public Service is a trust given in faith and accepted in honour and impartiality is the life of justice as that is of government. This sculpture is at ground level decorating the step to the North Street entrance to the Treasury building.
