Talk:Statue of Benjamin Franklin (San Francisco)

Not that tall
Another Believer. Obviously, SIRIS is way off on the height of the monument. There's no way it's 35 feet tall, or even half of that. I suspect that it is the base that is 118 inches tall, and the statue is 4-1/2 to 5 feet tall. Any idea on where to find the correct dimensions? == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 14:37, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Great question. I thought it was strange there were 2 sources from Smithsonian's Save Outdoor Sculpture program. Not sure of sources with dimensions, specifically, but here are more sources for future article expansion:

Even if inaccurate, I think it would be best if we included estimated dimensions per the Smithsonian sources. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 14:44, 7 April 2016 (UTC)


 * . I would normally agree. I initially added the heights to the infobox, but removed them after seeing the 2nd photo here. SIRIS is SO obviously wrong. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 14:56, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
