| Two 5-ton granite statues, representing agriculture and industry, were thought to be lost when the Chicago Board of Trade's 1885 building was demolished to make way for a new structure in 1929. In 1978, the statues were rediscovered when the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County purchased what is now Hidden Lake Forest Preserve in Glen Ellyn. The forest preserve is the former estate of Arthur Cutten, a prominent Chicago Board of Trade speculator in the early 1900s. It is not known how the 12-foot statues made the journey from Chicago to the Cutten estate. Neither their sculptor nor their country of origin is known. |
