Description
The Treasury Section of Fine Arts commissioned two plaster bas-reliefs by Mary Kittredge for the post office in Delta, Colorado. They are entitled “Cattle” and “Fruit”, and were installed in 1942.
The murals are still in place and the building was placed on the National Register in 1986.
Source notes
The WPA murals in Colorado website makes clear that this mural was done under the TSFA, not the FAP. http://wpamurals.org/colorado.htm
