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.

The mural has been restored thanks to Nolan Ryan and his wife Ruth. It is hanging in the Museum.
Thanks! We’ve updated the entry, and added a separate entry on the mural itself.
