Queen Street Infirmary

I'm looking for a photo of the old infirmary before it was demo'd. In particular, the statue on the side of the building of a guy with a staff. I used to call it Jesus with a microphone back when I lived on Tobin Street 15 years ago. Searching online was a dead end, though some book store has a statue that was supposedly from the inside. Any help would be appreciated.

Is this the statue? It was given to this church up on the Forest Hills Parkway in Dartmouth.

Hard to see, but I think that's it.

Thanks.

Like most of the pics I've seen on the web, no statue is visible, thanks for checking tho.

I remember when that statue was erected at the church. It was sometime in the late 90's.

I left in 96, so that sounds probable. I never saw it being taken down.

I don't know when exactly the statue was moved, but the infirmary came down in 2004.
