Discovering Pittsburgh's Sculpture (Vernon Gay, University of Pittsburgh Press, 1983) describes its entry into local history when the Mothers' Club of Carrick placed it at the entrance to Phillips Park around 1928. It survived a move, and was dedicated at its current site, Overbrook Boulevard and Ravella Avenue, Carrick, in 1967.

	This statue was originally in Phillips Park or as we called it Carrick Park on Spokane Ave, near Carrick High School. It was at the beginning of what we called the Mother's Path, a tree lined path that led to the interior of Phillips Park and the swimming pool. It has been 45 years since I have seen this statue. It brings back memories. I used to climb on it.
