Lions
Buffalo, NY
There are four marble Lions in Buffalo at the base of the McKinley Memorial. They were sculpted by Alexander Phimister Proctor in 1907. The sleeping lions are a tribute to the loss of President McKinley. He was assassinated in Buffalo at the opening of the Pan-American Exposition in 1901. The lions are 12 feet long and symbolize strength. For more, see this website. [map]

Lions
Cincinnati, OH
These Lions were installed in front of Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse when it opened in 2022. [map]

Leo the Lion
West Chester, OH
Leo the Lion was part of a pair of sculptures that came from Germany and were installed in 1866 on the roof of the Windisch-Muhlhauser Brewing Co. in Cincinnati. In 1933, the brewery became the Burger Brewing Company. It closed around 1973 and the statues were moved to a farm. In 2024, Leo was moved to Beckett Park in West Chester. The other sculpture, Leona the Lion, is in a private collection. [map]
