The bust, sculpted by John Quincy Adams Ward, depicts Goodale wearing a suit and bow tie. It is made of bronze with green patina and measures approximately 3 feet (0.91 m) x 2 feet (0.61 m), 6 inches (15 cm) x 2 feet (0.61 m).[2] The bust rests on a granite base measuring approximately 12 feet (3.7 m) x 10 feet (3.0 m) x 2 feet (0.61 m). The base was designed by Richard Morris Hunt.[2]
There are several inscriptions. Two on the bust read "J.Q.A. WARD / Sculptor" and "CAST BY THE HENRY-BONNARD BRONZE CO. NEW YORK. 1888”.[2] Another on the base reads: “LINCOLN / GOODALE”. A plaque on the base, donated on July 14, 1991, reads, “Lincoln Goodale 1782-1868 This bronze bust was created in 1888 by Ohio sculptor J.Q.A. Ward in memory of Dr. Lincoln Goodale, the area's first physician."[2]
The memorial cost $5,470 and was commissioned and paid for by the city and executors of Goodale’s estate.[2] It was designed in 1887 and dedicated on September 26, 1888. The artwork was surveyed by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1992.[2]
