The mural was removed in 1970, when the building was sold and kept in storage for 38 years. In 2008, the mural was donated to the Park Ridge Public Library and a group of citizens took on the task of raising funds for the restoration and installation of the mural.

On Friday, February 22, 2013, as part of the Library's 100th Anniversary celebration, the restored mural was unveiled in its current location on the second floor of the Park Ridge Public Library.
