Joe Himali, a history enthusiast and Realtor, joins us to cover the George Washington Bust by Former Chief of Justice Warren E Burger in the City Tavern Building.
“As much as his busy schedule allowed, Warren Burger was involved in the arts, and over the years, he himself produced bas-relief portraits and still life paintings. When still a high school student in 1923, he sculpted a bust of Benjamin Franklin, which in 1987 was reproduced in form of bronze copies by the Franklin Mint as a fundraiser for the Bicentennial Commission.” – (Warren E. Burger Collection)
Warren Burger gifted the City Tavern in 1992 an exact copy of this bust cast in bronze.
