The Henry L. Stein Sculpture (Aspen Mountain)
The Henry L. Stein sculpture is located on the Hyman Mall in Aspen. See this link: https://collections.si.edu/search/detail/edanmdm:siris_ari_317387?q=record_ID%3Asiris_ari_317387&record=1&hlterm=record_ID%3Asiris_ari_317387 which states that the sculptor was "Benedict Brother" and that it was dedicated in 1974 (and there is a metal plate on the base of the sculpture that says this). The dedication in 1974 was seven years before Henry died. This link also contains this description of the sculpture: "Thin male figure stands with his legs apart and slightly bent. His proper left arm is lowered and parallel to his proper left leg while his proper right arm is bent at the elbow and his forearm is extended forward. Both of his hands are large compared to the size of his body. He is holding an object in both hands. The figure is dressed in western attire."
The sculpture is metal, on a wooden base. The following is engraved on the wooden base:
"In Memory of Henry L. Stein, April 6, 1909 -- February 5, 1981."
Ten photos of it, taken by the author in April of 2020, are below. Click on images to enlarge.

One of the photos of the bridge shows the sign which is posted there which states: “This bridge was originally built in 1890 across the Roaring Fork River in Basalt, Colorado. It was moved here in October 1973 by Henry Stein, John Rodriguez, Mike Weiley, Kelly Jamison, Billy Jamison.”
