The John Harbert statue is a life-size sculpted portrait of construction magnate John Harbert which stands in the covered 20th Street North pedestrian entrance to the Regions-Harbert Plaza skyscraper.
The artwork was commissioned in 1998 from sculptor Brad Morton. The project was supported in part by the Alabama-Mississippi Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society as the first public art installation in their "Legacy of Leadership" series.
Morton's depiction of Harbert has him holding a pair of eyeglasses and a rolled set of construction plans, and standing with a briefcase at his feet to signify his achievements as a visionary, as a builder, and as a business executive. He looks upward to indicate his optimism and forward-thinking nature.
