Inda Sechzer, a local resident and history fan, has been leading the charge to unearth what she believes are artifacts of a school that once sat at the former post office site of 160 Maplewood Ave. years ago.

Developer Joseph Forgione, who owns JMF Properties -- builders of the three-story project that will include 20 apartments and five retail shops -- directed crew members to dig up parts of the front floor of the post office building to search for artifacts on Monday.
But the dig, which was attended by Mayor Vic Deluca, found nothing but dirt.
"I am not disappointed," Sechzer said via email. "We knew it would be a longshot as to whether there would be anything at all. These things are interesting and fun."
But she said they would remain in touch with the crew and Forgione in case something is found so that it can be preserved.
