Two wars and economic depression delay the construction, but by 1952 the structure is ready to be dedicated, its entrance adorned with a terra cotta sculpture commemorating the town''s history and featuring likenesses of many of its leading citizens. However, the town''s growing political and religious conservatism and Alquist''s own greed and bigotry threaten to undermine the project just as it nears completion.
