Description

“New Deal mural entitled “Cotton Plantation” painted in 1942 by Eve Kottgen. It was moved to the current post office in 1998. Due to lack of space (or planning), there was no space in the lobby so the mural was hung on the work floor out of public view. They are happy to let folks view it however.”
