I went to the main post office at 1750 W Ogden, Naperville today (3/2/22) and could not find the Rainey Bennett mural anywhere in any lobby. I’d really like to see it.
We visited this post office on August 9, 2022. The mural is located in a building at 5 S. Washington Street. The building is the original post office, which is now renovated into a post office and bank. The mural is in the bank.
