Exterior Sandstone Carving – Howard Steamboat Museum – Jeffersonville – Indiana
A sandstone carving of a woman on an exterior brick wall of the Howard mansion in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The home is the location of the Howard Steamboat Museum, which illustrates the accomplishments of the Howard Family and the Howard Ship Yards, which eventually became Jeffboat, a well known business in Jeffersonville for decades. Howard Ship Yard constructed more than 3000 boats, and its successor is the largest inland shipyard in the United States.
The mansion itself is of Victorian architectural style and is located along the waterfront of the Ohio river. Its interior stairway is a replica of the stairway of the steamboat J. M. White.
