Spirit of Detroit Statue - Profile of Spirit of Detroit Statue Sculptor: Location: In front of the City-County Building (aka Coleman A. Young Municipal Center) Dedicated: Inscription in Stone Behind the Statue: "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." Description: Considered the symbol of Detroit, the 26-foot statue sculpted by Marshall Fredericks in the 1950s depicts a seated man holding a sphere in one hand and a family group in the other. Jolly Green Giant: Rusting green over the years, the bronze statue eventually developed the alias “Jolly Green Giant.” The Jolly Green Giant was caught in the act, however, when he sported a Red Wing’s jersey in celebration of the team’s Stanley Cup win in 1997.
