Text   Britannia sculpture lowered from legislature as part of refurbishment work
textOctober 24, 2007 - Fredericton
textLegislative Assembly
The sculpture Britannia, which has stood at the top of the central north entrance pediment of the Legislative Assembly building for over 125 years, was recently removed as part of an ongoing refurbishment of the building. The sculpture had to be removed so that the pediment could be reinforced, as it has greatly deteriorated over the years. Britannia's condition will now be evaluated in the hopes that it can be restored.
