Mortar Man

Charleston, WV

High on a downtown Charleston wall is an absurdly tiny human figure only a few inches tall, installed in a mortar joint by artist P. Joseph Mullins. It is around twelve feet above street level and intended to be spotted from the public sidewalk rather than approached or climbed toward.

Filed under roadside oddities: giant objects, odd monuments and things built for no clear reason.
