Eagle for the Eagle Gate, Salt Lake City

Eagle for the Eagle Gate, Salt Lake City

$15,000.00Price
This colossal bird with a 20-foot wingspan and weighing 4000 pounds in bronze was created by Grant R. Fairbanks, when a medical student at the University of Utah, School of Medicine.  He hired two of his brothers, Justin Fairbanks and David Fairbanks, to assist him.  This stylized Eagle was patterned after the original wooden bird carved by Ralph Ramsey, commissioned by Brigham Young. 

The original went up in 1859 and came down as a result of an accident in 1959.  State Street at this point was widened to four lanes.  The larger replacement of the gate was dedicated in 1963. 

Bronze castings of the 5-foot wing span working model can be made available for purchase.
