On the exterior corner of the building at eye level.

An inscribed plaque on two corners of the building; the plaque includes the Division symbol of the 76th Infantry "Onaway" Division and the 6th Armored "Super Sixth" Division.

The plaque remembers the liberation of the town by the 304th Infantry Regiment of the 76th Infantry Division and Combat Command A of the 6th Armored Division, which were part of XX Corps, 3rd US Army, in April 1945.  The town was subsequently occupied by American forces until the arrival of the Soviet Army.  This building served as the HQ for the local US forces during this time.
