YEAR: 1938

What a cool mural! So for most of my visits, the artwork has been in the 1939 or 1940. This one however, was done in 1938, which I believe makes it one of the older ones out there. Pretty neat. Somewhere along the line I heard or read that this one was in storage for the longest time. Sometime in the 80’s or 90’s it was removed from the basement restored and placed back in the lobby.

Where did I hear this? Was this writing someplace? Do you happen to know? Please comment below.

Thanks,
