Description

The historic Old Chelsea Station post office houses examples of New Deal artwork: two sculptures, titled “Deer” and “Bears,” by Paul Fiene, housed just inside the public entrance on 18th Street. Made of “cast stone with silver leaf finish,” the works were commissioned by  the Treasury Section of Fine Arts and completed in 1938.
