CRANFORD, NJ — A Cranford man has been drawing attention this week for his very detailed 14-foot ice sculpture of the Lincoln Memorial. Robert Schott was featured on CBS on Monday with the creation he built in front of his Springfield Avenue home. A neighbor told the network that after being inside due to the pandemic, he greatly enjoyed the sculpture.
The report said that Schott's family is artistic and that he has been carving snow sculptures for 18 years, from Snoopy to the car in the film "Thelma and Louise." See the report on CBS here.
