Need B-25 Information

[HPDCapt]

Two pictures were recently posted on a local website of a B-25 in downtown Huntington, WV. I am assuming the pictures are from the late 40s or early 50s since there is a banner on the aircraft asking people to vote for an airport levy. The aircraft is NMF and has the name Dunhill Dandy on the nose. Dunhill apparently donated the plane to the local school board. The tail number is 112574.
I would appreciate any history on this aircraft and its fate if known. The fact that the plane is in the downtown area is amazing since the closest airport was across a river in another state during that time period.
Thanks in advance for any information WIXers can provide.

Serial number 41-12574 was about the 140th of 605, B-25C's built. No clue as to its fate...perhaps someone else will chime in.

It's in a hole in Baughers lists, and I can't seem to locate N.A.A. production lists

How about a link to the site?

The two pictures are on a Facebook page. Its Vintage Huntington and you have to scroll down until you find the pictures. I wasn't able to find a website and I don't know how to give a link from Facebook. Hope this helps and thanks for your help.

Note the Air Transport Command insignia on the aft fuselage - did that usually mean it was a VIP hack?
Also, for the possible date, here's this from the Tri-State Airport's website:

Finally, in 1948 five organizations agreed to join in forming a Tri-State Airport Authority. An act of the State Legislature creating the Authority passed March 5, 1949. The first step made by this Authority was to appoint a committee to buy the land. Five hundred and thirty-four (534) acres were acquired. A contract was signed and the notice to proceed was issued on March 7, 1950.

One of the FB comments points out, " Under the nose art it says "Donated to the Cabell County School System by Dunhill's" It is a good bet the aircraft was used as a teaching aid for aviation mechanics."

There are also the last three digits of a number written on the nose and partly blocked by the young woman in the photo. Does anyone know if this would have been a sort of inventory number from a storage facility?
