Removing the protective scaffolding after the regilding of the statue “Wisconsin” in 1990. The fifteen-feet tall, three-ton statue was designed by Daniel Chester French. If you know why “Wisconsin” is sometimes referred to as Mrs. Rennebohm, consider yourself an old time Madisonian. If you don’t, the joke suggested that “Wisconsin” was actually Mrs. Rennebohm, looking for another site for a drugstone. At one time Mrs. Rennebohm’s husband, Oscar, was the owner of a large local drugstore chain. Oscar Rennebohm served as governor from 1947 until 1951. SHSW Lot 3l878
