A Gift of Time and Effort for Hillside Elks Mosaic Panel
Joseph Powers of 541 Tillman St spent about three months hand setting a four by three foot mosaic panel for Hillside Elks Lodge 1591. The panel features the Elks emblem in gold bronze and buff tiles with lodge name in ivory tiles and weighs about eighty five pounds. Powers retired in 1964 from a local tavern business and treats tile setting as a long time hobby noting the need to step away to maintain sanity. His current project is a coffee table.
