ADDRESS: 200 West Brown Street, New Lexington, Ohio 43764
ARTIST: Isabel Bishop
TITLE: Great Men Came From the Hills
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas (mural)
STATUS: The New Lexington post office is still an active, operating facility, and the mural can be viewed by interested members of the public. It resides on the wall in the main section of the lobby.
YEAR: 1938

I like the design of this building. Typically most of the buildings are your rectangular smaller buildings. But this one sticks out and has a great roof line and the large rooms to either sides of the building.

ADDRESS: 617 McCorkle Boulevard, Westerville, Ohio 43082
ARTIST: Olive Nuhfer
TITLE: The Daily Mail
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas (mural)
STATUS: The former Westerville post office is no longer an active, operating facility. The mural was moved to the newer facility on McCorkle Boulevard and can be viewed by interested members of the public. It resides in the lobby on the wall behind the retail counter.
YEAR: 1937

I waited around at the other Westerville post office to see the mural. However, it was not located at the building, it was located here.

It’s been framed and placed behind the retail counter. It is easy to see but is locked up with a gate during non-business hours. There are also some historical photos of the old building behind the other retail counter.

Another perfect photograph in New Concord, Ohio during my October 2022 road trip. What you don’t see is the gas station across the street. It was quit busy and I had a small audience watching me as I tried to film the show video clips I take for the front of the buildings. Fun times!
