Gun Totem is a unique work of public art on display in front of the Federal Courthouse. Artist Boris Bally creates this 12-foot (3.6-meter) high obelisk with concrete and steel, with its exterior exposing over 1000 handguns. The firearms used were reclaimed and disabled from a program held in Pittsburgh by Dr. Michael P. Hirsch. This monument, now administered by the Providence Parks Department calls for a thought-provoking visit.
