I live in Alabama and am trying to locate the terra cotta relief entitled "Family Group" that was installed in the Lisbon ND post office in 1944 as part of Pres Roosevelt's New Deal Art Program. I've contacted the Lisbon post office and library and no one can help me. I have a book published in 1991 that says the relief was moved to "St Augustera College"--there is no college by that name but is an Augustana College in Sioux Falls but no on there knows anything about the relief either. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
