Altas once sat proudly on top of the original Atlas Assurance Company building that was constructed in the late 1800s, on the same site where he now resides.
During the 1950s a new Altas Building constructed and the statue was moved the front of tgh enew building at ground level to be admired by all who passed.
During the 1970s (unconfirmed) the building was again demolished to make way for the latest structure that occupies 406 Collins Street.
This once proud statue now sits into a corner, where he is ignored by everyone rushing past him.
Construction Material: Bronze
Is this Atlas?: yes
