A Dawn in the West
Bronze statue
About
A Dawn In The West is the title of a 2013 bronze statue by Alfred Paredes of Elias J. “Lucky” Baldwin (1828–1909), pioneer California rancher, businessman founder and first mayor of Arcadia. Commissioned and donated to the City of Arcadia by Baldwin's great, great, great granddaughters, Margaux Gibson-Viera and Heather Gibson, both of California, the 9-foot bronze figure of Baldwin stands on a 4-foot concrete plinth in the center of the Monsignor Gerald M. O’Keefe Rose Garden, at the intersection of Huntington Drive and Holly Avenue, in Arcadia, California. It was dedicated on April 16, 2013.
A Dawn In The West depicts Baldwin at about the age of 80 as he surveys the site of his home and ranch located nearby. The figure is positioned looking northwest toward the home that Baldwin occupied at the time, known as the Hugo Reid Adobe, which is now preserved at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden.
