I thought of back home and Boys Town came to mind. The movie was shot there and Spencer Tracy's oscar (1938) for playing Father Flanagan is there in the museum. One of the most impressive things the restoration of Flanagan's house restored to the 1930s.
His office has the desk that first boys at Boys Town made him in the 30s. Gorgeous inlaid wood without one nail. It was made with dowels and I'd give anything to have a desk like that.
