The Five Corners, Merrill and Lang school buildings were painted on the inside and the Hopkins was painted an outside coat and shingled and the chimney topped out. A new...

The Lincoln Hospital (also known as the Lincoln Medical and Health Center), has contained several WPA murals. During the 1930s, the Lincoln Hospital (then located at 141st St. and Southern Blvd. in the Bronx) received at least three WPA murals.

"Ways of the Mail," was completed with funding from the Treasury Section of Fine Arts by Arnold Rönnebeck in 1937. It consists of three (3) terra cotta relief panels, totaling 8 feet.
