A sculpture of Independence Hall along with sculptures of several historic homes across the country were found in a dirt floored room under the Berlin Brothersvalley High School in recent years. Engraved on the bottom was WPA. I would like to know more about their origin, as a board member of the Berlin Area Historical Society.
