Description
This Section of Fine Arts mural, entitled “Old Days in Greenwich,” was painted by Victoria Hutson Huntley in 1939. Created for the historic main post office for Greenwich, the mural has since been relocated: “The Board of Ed and the Greenwich Board of Selectmen finalized a loan agreement that will allow installation of the large mural depicting Colonial life in Greenwich in the lobby of the Havemeyer Building,” which is located roughly across the street from the old P.O.
