Wolfe's Angel at the historic Oakdale Cemetery will be cleaned by an expert conservator from the Biltmore estate on Monday.

The city Historic Preservation Commission contracted with the conservator to clean the marble statue. The conservator will inspect and assess the statue’s need for repair during the cleaning process, and the Historic Preservation Commission’s staff coordinator will be assisting the conservator with the work. The cleaning and assessment will take place on site at Oakdale Cemetery starting at 9 a.m. Monday.
