John Burke Statue - 1963

John Burke Statue - 1963

$0.00Price
The heroic-size bronze statue of John Burke was created by Sculptor, Avard T. Fairbanks, Ph.D., for North Dakota’s donation to the National Statuary Hall, in the Nation’s Capitol, in 1963.  It was created by Avard T. Fairbanks in his studio on the University of Utah Campus where he served as Dean of the School of Fine Arts and Professor of Sculpture. 

John Burke was a notable figure from North Dakota who began his career as a lawyer and served in the North Dakota House of Representatives and also in the State Senate.  Because of his unquestioned integrity, he was nicknamed “Honest John.”  He served as Governor of North Dakota from 1907-1913. 

He was noted for instigating many important reforms, including curtailing corruption in politics.  He was instrumental in legislation regarding child labor, juvenile courts, with welfare, sanitation laws, and regulation of medicine, surgery, and public utilities.  He was appointed treasurer of the United States by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913. 

The heroic bronze statue of John Burke is a fitting tribute to one of North Dakota’s leading citizens.
