OT......1934-1943 US Post Office murals

2 months ago

United States post office murals, produced in the United States from 1934 to 1943 through commissions from the Procurement Division of the United States Department of the Treasuryr. The principal objective of the United States post office murals was to secure artwork that met high artistic standards[1] for public buildings, where it was accessible to all people.[2] The murals were intended to boost the morale of the American people suffering from the effects of the Depression by depicting uplifting subjects the people knew and loved.


Do you have one or more of these murals in your area ?

I have two in mine: Endicott, NY and Johnson City NY Post offices.


Here's a link to all the states with murals listed :
