Post Office Mural - Nappanee IN The post office contains a 1938 Section of Fine Arts mural by Grant Christian entitled "Waiting for the Mail."
Wistful scene of a young woman waiting for the mail at her front gate with her faithful dog with her. The trees are large and encompass the scene lending to the sense of protection. An older woman is looking at her possibly with concern in the background stopping her chore of sweeping, probably her mother. Edward Rowan with the Treasury Section evidently suggested that the dog be included to break up the long blank fence(Park and Markowitz).
