ADDRESS: 122 Maple St., Dresden, Tennesse, 38225
ARTIST: Minetta Good
TITLE: Retrospection
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas (mural)
STATUS: The Dresden post office is still an active, operating facility, and the mural can be viewed by interested members of the public. It resides in the lobby on the wall above the postmaster’s door.
YEAR: 1940

I love this mural. The colors are alive and brilliant. There is so much going on in this mural that makes it a unique piece. To be honest I don’t have an Art background. This makes it difficult for me to describe in art terminology the various aspects or features of this painting. I love the colors. I love the size of the mural.  Maybe if there is an art history major out there that would like to comment, that would be interesting.

The point is you don’t need to be an art history major to enjoy or appreciate this wonderful murals.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.

ADDRESS: 100 Heritage, Huntingdon, TN 38344

Ok, not sure why it’s so difficult to find more information on this building but for some reason it is. I know I only performed a general search but I have more photos I need to upload and edit. Cheers to the city of Huntingdon for purchasing and renovating this history building. I’m delighted and happy to have visited.

So I’m turning this one over to you my loyal readers. I know there are a few of you out there. The number on the door is 100, but what street is this? I did not write it down.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.

Today’s featured post office is Huntingdon Tennessee. I was lucky enough to find the original post office while in Huntingdon. Stay tuned for tomorrows much more classy post office. I have nothing against this one but as you already know by reading my previous post. I’m a fan of the older more unique buildings.

Thanks,
