‘Guardian’ installed in downtown Kingman

The proud papa of Kingman’s newest sculpture dubbed “The Guardian” by Jim Rowe (pictured) was delivered in predawn hours last Sunday morning. Roe, a southern California native and Arizona investor has bought numerous properties in old Kingman and was motivated to bring attention to the rehab of the 200 block of Topeka. The Guardian has more than 700 pounds of metal and was created by metal sculptor Martin Gonzalez of Dagget, CA.
