Kilroy
on the Statue of Liberty
There are rumors that "Kilroy
Was Here" can be found at the top of the Statue of Liberty.

to view a real photo of a banner with "Kilroy was here"
draped across Liberty's brow. If you look carefully, you can

This photo was taken during the 1985 centennial restoration
of the Statue. Our company proudly was awarded the installation
of the Bronze replacement windows. I'm the 69 year old son
of the founder of Kilroy Architectural Windows, Inc ( formerly
known as Kilroy Metal Products, Inc). My father was a Navy

Our company today is proud of our 66 year lineage and connection
to "the greatest generation". Over the years we
have rebuilt or replaced windows in the greatest New York
City and national landmark buildings including:
