An architecture student, Stuart Wrede, and a group of architecture students raised money, under the name of the Colossal Keepsake Corporation of Connecticut,
and worked in collaboration with Claes Oldenburg. It was installed on May 15, 1969, in Beinecke Plaza at Yale University, as a speakers' platform for anti-war protests.

The Lembecks lived in New Haven at the corner of Crown and York Streets (319 Crown Street) from the spring of 1968 until the summer of 1972.
