      Just outside of the Boston's Old City Hall stands a statue of a donkey. Also known as the Democratic Donkey, it was found by preservationist Roger Webb in an antique market in Florence, was placed in front of Boston's Old City Hall in 1998. A pair of footprints with imprints of elephants, to represent the the Republican Party, was added later.

        The unusual story of the donkey statue at the Old City Hall is excellently described in an article in Boston Magazine:
