Description
Nine murals resided in the auditorium lobby of the W. H. Kirk Middle School in East Cleveland, Ohio. “The school, built in 1930, displayed nine murals, collectively known as The Progression of Man. The murals were commissioned by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s and were removed and placed in storage when the school was demolished in 2002.”
