"So long, until tomorrow"

Article Abstract:

Lowell Jackson Thomas, a pioneer in radio journalism, newsreel films, television news and 3-dimensional movies, nurtured the idea of building a fireplace made up of stones tracing the history of mankind. 'The History of Civilization' fireplace was begun in the late 1930s at a community center in Quaker Hill, Pawling, New York, and consisted of 220 cement blocks surrounding a sandstone lintel inscribed with a Sanskrit proverb, where each block would be replaced eventually with a stone from a famous building or historic site around the world.
