During my second trip to New Jersey, in August 2021, I visited the Hawthorne post office. Initially, my research reveled, Patterson as the location with the art.
In May 2021, I visited the main Patterson post office but did not find any art. Fast forward to August and was able to visit the Hawthorne post offie to complete this site visit.
My initial visit to the Hawthorne building was after hours on the 10th, I had to circle around to revisit on the 11th for the interior photos.
Thanks,
David W. Gates Jr.
