Fun Facts

The structure, standing at 38 feet tall, is constructed from 11 filing cabinets stacked on top of each other, all made from recycled materials.

The sculpture was created by local artist Bren Alvarez in 2002 as a commentary on bureaucratic inefficiency.

It was designed to symbolize the paperwork and delays associated with the proposed but never completed Southern Connector highway project.

Its quirky design and unexpected location make it a favorite subject for both amateur and professional photographers visiting Burlington.

It is located on Flynn Avenue, a short distance from downtown Burlington, making it easily accessible for visitors.
