# Carl Milles *Sculptor of the onyx figure in the Saint Paul City Hall and Ramsey County Courthouse* Carl Milles is the sculptor of a 60-ton, 38-foot onyx sculpture in the combined Saint Paul City Hall and Ramsey County Courthouse.[^1] The building was completed in 1932 at a cost of $4 million.[^1] The sculpture was originally titled "Indian God of Peace" and was later renamed *[[Vision of Peace]]*.[^1] The project's record finds that neither the date of the renaming nor the party who requested it is confirmed in any official source located.[^1] ## Who In the Minnesota record, Milles appears only as the artist of the onyx sculpture in the Saint Paul City Hall and Ramsey County Courthouse.[^1] The record does not establish his biography, the terms under which the work was commissioned, or who commissioned it. It also does not establish who changed the sculpture's title or when.[^1] ## In the at-issue record The sculpture is the subject of at-issue record AI-Ramsey-035. The record is ranked 35th in the Ramsey package, in the tier headed *The Name on the Courthouse*.[^1] The record pairs the sculpture's first title with its later one and records that no official source located documents the change.[^1] The record's anchor is the White House presidential action *Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos* (March 2025).[^2] The record gives this reason for the pairing: "an undocumented renaming inside the building that holds the county's records."[^1] ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota wiki project, *At-issue record AI-Ramsey-035* (Ramsey package, Tier II, rank 35; year 1932) — establishes the 1932 completion and $4 million cost of the combined Saint Paul City Hall and Ramsey County Courthouse; the 60-ton, 38-foot onyx sculpture by Carl Milles; the original title "Indian God of Peace" and the later title "Vision of Peace"; that the renaming date and requesting party are not confirmed in any official source located; and the anchor rationale. The row lists two record sources on en.wikipedia.org and ramseycountymn.gov. The pack does not carry URLs for either source.
