A $350,000 bronze casting of Michelangelo's original "David" was unveiled today in 1973 at Fawick Park in Sioux Falls. Thomas Fawick, a Cleveland industrialist and philanthropist and Sioux Falls native, presented the 18-foot, 3 1/2-ton statue as a gift to the city and Augustana College. The statue, cast on the original in Rome, sat in the Sioux Falls Arena for two years before being mounted on a marble base.
