Iron County news. [volume] (Hurley, Wis.) 1913-1950, March 05, 1921, Image 2 Found on chroniclingamerica.loc.gov
That's what I thought at first.
Before reading the caption, before zooming into the image, I thought the very first picture on the right center was a robot. No, it's a memorial for the East Indians who died in the war.
The second image there (center) is of White Hall, Indiana. "Present center of population of the US" 
Whatever that means. My best guess is it was the most populated place per volume in 1921? Who knows!
Anyhoosles, The third image is of Presidente Obregon Of Mexico. He's jabbering to the Mexican Congress.
I bet they just wanted to go home and eat some Tamales. 
I know I would. 
Whatcha think? Doesn't the first image look robotic?

Look for the Union Jack, right above that are two windows that make up the eyes and the roofing is similar to the robots we see in 80's movies.

@LadyDuck Yes, on the side there is another space so it takes away from the robotic look to it.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I can see so well the columns, but with a good dose of fantasy you can imagine that it is the head of a robot.

It also makes me think of army issue hard hats too, but I first saw a robot.

Yes it does. Also enjoyed Castoria and Spohn's Distemper something-or-other.
