I recently took a trip to the wonderful Lincoln Park Historical Society and Museum for presentation on the Artist Zoltan Sepeshy and the mural he painted for the Lincoln Park post office.

Thanks to Greg Wittkopp for the very informational presentation regarding Zoltan Sepeshy and Cranbrook. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and learned a great deal. This was my first exposure to Cranbrook which I had no idea existed. So it was pleasant to learn of

And thanks to Jeff day and staff for taking such good care of this treasured post office building.

Highland Park Michigan Post Office

Detroit MI Highland Park Branch Post Office 48203

ADDRESS: 13215 Woodward Ave., Highland Park, Michigan 48203
ARTIST: Erwin Springweiler
TITLE: American Eagle
MEDIUM: Stone (sculpture)
STATUS: The eagle resides outside near the front entrant of the building. It is accessible 24/7.
YEAR: 1939

On Wednesday November 13, 2019, the Lincoln Park Historical Museum had a presentation regarding the mural that once resided in their building. since I had a few minutes. I decided to heard over to the Highland Park branch to view the eagle.

What I though was going to be a quick trip ended up taking longer than I anticipated and it was getting dark by the time I got there to see it.

The combined shorten daylight and Detroit traffic meant I had to hurry get my pictures and head back to Lincoln Park for the presentaiton.
