HI MAC... I KNEW PRACTICLY EVERY NAME YOU LIST ON THE PLAQUE AND AND ALSO COMMEND THE ITALIAN-AMERICAN CIVIC LEAGUE FOR THE FINE GESTURE IN PUTTING THAT STATUE IN THE PARK THAT PROVIDES CHAMBERSBURG WITH SUCH AN OUTSTANDING ATTRACTION. BEST REGARDS.
I think that should be the Johnson Atlier.
That (the atlier), is the place in the old New Jersey State Fairgrounds.
One of the sons of the J & J fortune was into sculpture and started "The Atlier" after the State Fair closed.
He was said to be quite a character and I remember reading that they cast a cannon. A few of the students took the cannon out at night and shot it. I think it was an old gal on Enterprise Avenue that heard the noise and then found a hole in her ceiling and a cannon ball on the floor.
As a photo guy, you should go and take a ride through that "new" development off that Nottingham corner (south east?), from there you can see the back of some of the old fair garages.
Too cool Mack .. there is a Trenton ceramic tile inlay of the Indy racing wings and wheel still in plain sight. It is IMHO, a local work of art. My guess is that it is from the 1930's or 40's ??
