Joe Cook Plaque

This plaque was removed from the building and placed in storage by the Southwestern Indiana Mental Health Center which purchased the building. They are willing to donate it to someone willing to publicly display it. It is hoped that it will be placed back in its original location at Fourth and Oak Streets.
