Apartment building located at the northeast corner of N. Seminary Avenue and W. Diversey Parkway on the North Side of Chicago.
The bronze statue of Igantius J. Reilly, sculpted by William Ludwig in 1996, stands 71 inches tall under the clock at the former site of the D.H. Holmes Department Store, now the Chateau Sonesta Hotel. The statue mimics the opening scene from John Kennedy Toole's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, A Confederacy of Dunces, where “in the shadow under the green visor of the cap, Ignatius J. Reilly’s supercilious blue and yellow eyes looked down upon the other people waiting under the clock at the D. H. Holmes Department Store, studying the crowd of people for signs of bad taste in dress.” The statue is modeled on New Orleans actor John "Spud" McConnell, who portrayed Ignatius in a stage version of the novel.
A Confederacy of Dunces was published in 1980, 11 years after the author's suicide. The book was published through the efforts of writer Walker Percy (who also contributed a revealing foreword) and Toole's mother Thelma Toole, quickly becoming a cult classic. Set in New Orleans in the early 1960's, the story revolves around Ignatius J. (Jacques) Reilly, an intelligent but slothful man still living with his mother at age 30 in the city's Uptown neighborhood, who, because of family circumstances, must set out to get a job. In his quest for employment he has various adventures with colorful French Quarter characters.

I saw this large graffiti inscription in the Supportico di Santi Apostoli road while I was visiting Naples in October 2022. Apparently it was one of a dozen similar inscriptions that two local artists placed all over the city a few months earlier. It is in fact a copy of an artwork by British artist John McConnell from 1999. The bits falling off the letters are meant to symbolize the archeological ruins that surround Naples in Pompeii and Herculaneum.

This is the grave of Brigadier General John R. McConnell.......A cavalry officer during the Civil War who saw little action....He was at Pea Ridge.....Where his commanding officer, Eugene Carr, won the Congressional Medal of Honor when the 3rd Illinois was engaged in heavy fighting near Elkhorn Tavern.....
He was brevetted a Brigadier General before being mustered out after the Civil War.....He passed away in 1898 and was married to Elizabeth Carrington.....
There are many military men throughout U.S. history named John McConnell....Including the former Air Force Chief of Staff.......And it seems that this site has mixed up a couple of them.......Not sure if any of these men are related.....But this Brigadier General - Former Major in the 3rd Illinois Cavalry - is buried here in Springfield......And, not at Arlington....
