Det här är Pershing Square mitt i Los Angeles Downtown, stadens äldsta torg. Röda tegelhuset längre ner på sidan hyser Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles. Downtown används ofta som filmscen om det är ett äldre New York som ska illustreras.
Om statyn på Beethoven har jag hittat följande information:
Arnold Foerster sculpted this Beethoven, unveiled on October 14th 1932 at the Public Art Division of the Cultural Affairs Department.
As the plaque indicates, this statue is dedicated to William Andrews Clark Jr., founder of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. The initial project was to erect a statue of Clark to thank him for his generosity. But he prefered a statue of his favourite composer: Beethoven.
