Unnamed mural
Description
This 6′ X 68′ mural, painted by Frederick Alexander Pawla (1877-1964) with Federal Art Project (FAP) funds, was removed and reinstalled with some controversy in 1973. ” It was commissioned by the W.P.A. (Works Progress Administration), and its six-foot-tall canvas panels framed the entrance to the auditorium.” (telenaut.com)

As someone who goes to BHS, it’s really cool to find out where this painting comes from. I’ve always wondered about it. 🙂
Why was there controversy surrounding the mural being reinstalled?
