A fixture for passing motorists for years, the bull at the Peerless Restaurant was temporarily removed from its spot on North Roan Street on Monday.
Gary Kalogeros, the chief managing partner of Peerless Properties & Development, said the company plans to restore the statue and reinstall it as the renovation of the restaurant nears completion.
According to a press release from the company, the bull has never been taken down in the history of the Peerless. It has, however, been updated and moved several times over the years.
The bull was once perched on the restaurantâs rooftop in the 1950s, and it was then moved to its current location on North Roan Street in the 1960s.
