This is a picture of the wolf statue when it was still located in Homeland by the lakes. http://www.homelandassociation.org/Wolf2.htm


The statue of wolf of Homeland has two stories: the one portrayed on the Homeland Association website and the one that actually happened. The story that one would think happened from the Homeland Association’s website is that the statue of the wolf was stolen because of the page saying when it was last seen and that they “wanted” the statue and information about it (“Statue of the Famous Homeland Wolf). However, Lynn Petersons, the operations manager of the Homeland Association, told a different story when asked about the wolf statue. The wolf statue was never actually the neighborhood’s property. It came to Homeland in the 1930s and 1940s as part of Edward Henry Berge’s artwork being displayed. After that it was in a flower shop’s window on Charles Street. After that it went on an auction in D.C. The local of the statue as far as who bought it from the auction are unknown (Petersons); yet there is still more known about it than the Homeland Association’s website implies.
