Residents of the apartment complex and neighborhood school children helped fabricate the sculptures. Nameplate to the left of main entrance to building reads: "Cambridge Arts/Council/1979/Clay pieces made by/Residents.../of Miller River/and children from/Kennedy Harrington Agassiz and Webster Schools."
