Alpena developer Bruce Dietz looks at the oxidized underside of a metal box found inside the cornerstone of the former Catholic Central High School campus in north Alpena last week.
ALPENA A discovery excited workers tearing apart the outer walls of the former Catholic Central High School campus in north Alpena last week.
An oxidized metal box, tucked inside a cement cornerstone, is a time capsule, placed when the school was built in 1950, developer Bruce Dietz believes.
The box isn’t locked, but Dietz hasn’t looked inside.
“It’s a community thing,” Dietz said. “It’s got more significance to the community than to me personally. I don’t want to ruin it.”
