Commissioned by the Treasury Department Section of Paintings and Sculptures.

Recently was in Staunton, Virginia and came across this great looking New Deal Post Office Building. Part of the building (center 1st Floor) still serves as a small, downtown Post Office; ( the Main “modern” Post Office is now on the outskirts of town); and there are two, private businesses on either side of the station.
