Rediscovered painting offers slice of city history- September 3, 2012
- At the heart of Liberty Memorial Central Middle School hangs a piece of history. Just before the school year began, Principal Jeff Harkin hung a painting of the original architect’s rendering of the school building. The school was built in 1922 as Liberty Memorial High School, a memorial to the 19 service members from Lawrence who died in World War I. The painting was found during renovations in 2005 and was restored by a group of alumni this year.
