Description
A plaster bas relief: “History of a Letter,” was created by Theodore C. Barbarossa in 1939 as a commission by the Treasury Section of Fine Arts. The work was originally installed in the then-new post office on Union Street. It has since been relocated to the current Clinton post office at 320 High Street, behind glass in the building’s public lobby.
