Steven M. White, 1960

1960, The short version, Steven M. White statue originally stood on the lawn of the old Sandstone County Courthouse ending up in a utility yard for many years . . . brought back to life at the L.A. Courthouse on the N.W. corner of Hill & 1st.  It now stands at the entrance to Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro.  Thanks to Mark Frazier.  Mark adds that, 
In this photo, it's State Office Building #2... today, it's a U.S. Courthouse (the big glass cube) taking up most of the whole block between Broadway & Hill & 1st & 2nd Streets! 

However, that Calisphere link gives the date as 1960.  The Calisphere caption shines a little more light on the building,
