Many life-sized sculptures from France graced the hotel corridors

The Spinning Girl Statue at the Henry Plant MuseumMany life-sized sculptures from France graced the hotel corridors. These pieces are made of cast iron and finished with a bronze patina. The Spinning Girl once stood in the lobby and welcomed guests as they departed their private rail cars and entered the grand hotel. Today this statue is preserved in the Museum and stands before a 12-foot painted tapestry.
