Paul Manship's Proposed Armillary Sphere

Sketch of a very large armillary sphere in a plaza, surrounded by monoliths

Paul Manship proposed an enormous armillary sphere as a central feature of the island's memorial plaza. It was not popular with critics or the public, and he changed his proposal to a large statue of Roosevelt.
