The sculptor Gerhard Kroll is still alive and working. Other works by him can be seen in Milwaukee. He did the facade panels for the bank on the corner of Capital Dr. and Oakland Ave. He has a granite piece in the Manpower Collection displayed on the Milwaukee River downtown. He has a huge welded steel piece displayed at Manpower's suburban HQ and even did the brass gate for the J.I. Case Family Crypt! The original door handle for the Leilani Lodge is attached to a hamburger joint in the Wisconsin Dells as well as the huge brass sunburst that adorned the double front door.
