Description
Texas artist Loren Mozley completed “Emigrants at Nightfall” in 1942 for the Alvin Post Office, also a New Deal Project. After years of storage, it was recently restored with help from a donation from former Texas Rangers pitcher Nolan Ryan and his wife Ruth. Today it hangs again in the former post office, now the Alvin Historical Museum.
