Modern Day Kitsch In Small Town America - Part 2

I reached the halfway point in my tour of the front lawn of Martin's Greenhouse in Winthrop, New York (see also Part 1, posted yesterday).

A three story house for Purple Martins, though I saw no birds using it:

A giant, concrete Uncle Sam (who, by the way, was from Troy, NY):

The front side of the soldiers' memorial:
