Members of the Washington Crossing Park Association are working to restore a mural depicting Gen. George Washington crossing the Delaware.
Harding was a muralist and combat artist, whose Works Progress Administration murals can be found in federal and private buildings across the United States, according to the group. The opera house had been built by John Taylor, of Taylor Ham and Taylor Pork Roll fame.
Volunteers had worked to remove and protect the mural ahead of the demolition of the opera house, coating it with homemade wheat paste and Japanese rice paper and rolling it into a custom-made cylinder in the hopes that it would be restored for the Washington Crossing State Park’s new visitor center, slated for completion in time for the nation’s Bicentennial in 1976, according to the association.
“There were Christmas decorations next to it and it was on to sawhorses, still rolled up in a tube,” Millen said. “I couldn’t believe it was still there, but then I thought, ‘Oh my God, it’s been rolled with wheat paste on it and in a basement for over 50 years.’”
