A compiled report on the murals of Louise Tessin Roats (1894-1962), including her biography, the story of the murals she painted Shearer and Lincoln Elementary Schools, and the preservation of the murals before the demolition of the schools in June 1976.

It is unknown when the biography and summary materials were written.Collection
