Pegasus (Flying Red Horse)
The original Flying Red Horse built by H. Harold Winburgh, was placed on top of the Magnolia Building in 1934 until it was taken down in 1999.
For many years the Flying Red Horse remained in storage in different locations till no one knew where it was last stored.
Thanks to Jeremy McKane who after hearing the story of the Pegusus, made it his mission to search for the lost horse.
