[1][2][3] Erich Lamade's Pageant of Oregon History is a 300-square-foot (28 m2) mural, painted on four walls of the school's library.
[4] The mural was commissioned by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s as part of Federal Project Number One, and completed in 1940.
In 2017, the city's Heritage Conservation Group and the school's Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) led a fundraising campaign to fund a $71,274 restoration project.
[4] Financial contributors included $20,000 from the Oregon Heritage Commission, $15,000 from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and $5,000 from the Autzen Foundation; additional funds were raised from a GoFundMe campaign, launched in December.
The restoration began during mid 2018, starting with the room's south and southeast walls using methods developed by Portland State University's Regional Laboratory for the Science of Cultural Heritage Conservation.
