| On the edge of the plaza is an iron sculpture of a man beating a sword
into a plowshare as a child watches.

Beyond the sculpture to the southwest is the Community of Christ
Auditorium. Construction of this unique domed building began in 1926 but
progress was slowed by the Great Depression. It was ultimately finished in
1962.
