Compton Heights, Part 3

The Compton Heights Reservoir Park also features several other interesting features. Below, is the ornamental, Italiante staircase that leads up to the reservoir itself.Below is the highly controversial statue that commemorates German settlement--or something like that--in St. Louis. It was considered very suggestive, even with its title The Truth Laid Bare.
People were a little concerned a hundred years ago that the truth wasn't the only thing being laid bare in the monument.
