Description
A 1940 WPA report on the activities of Professional and Service Projects in Maine mentioned the completion of a mural for the former Cape Elizabeth High School.
Dorothy Higgins of the Cape Elizabeth Historical Preservation Society Cape happened to locate a picture of it in the 1941 High School year book. “The high school has been remodeled several times and no one at the Cape Elizabeth Historical Preservation Society knows what happened to this mural.”
It depicts a map of the town flanked by small illustrations of historical buildings.
