Portsmouth Ohio Post Office
ADDRESS: 610 Gay Street, Portsmouth, Ohio 45662
ARTIST: Clarence Holbrook Carter
TITLE: Characteristic Local Scenes in Portsmouth
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas (murals) 4 panels
ARTIST: Richard Charles Zoellner
TITLE: Waterfront and Coal Barges
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas (murals) 2 panels
STATUS: The Portsmouth post office is still an active, operating facility, and the murals can be viewed by interested members of the public. They reside on the walls in the retail section of the lobby.
YEAR: 1938
Trying to get a good photo of the exterior of this one was a challenge. It was crazy busy and the weather was nice. People were out and about doing their errands.
I stood around for a while, thinking I’d be able to get at least one good picture with no people or cars, but this turned out to be futile. I took videos and pictures with people and cars. The one you see is just a portion of the front of the building.
At least I have this one, I imagine, I’ll visit again on a weekend to get a better photograph. IDK.
The lobby in this one is incredible. There are six individual panels. One very large one, two large vertical panels, two smaller murals in the door way to the stairwell and one long narrow one above the entrance to the stairwell.
Lots to see and enjoy here. Allow yourself plenty of time if visiting this one. I had some nice conservation with the clerks during my visit.
