ARTIST: Horace Day
TITLE: Farm and Factory
MEDIUM: Tempera (mural)
STATUS: The mural was moved to the newer post office.
YEAR: 1940
For mural information please see our article for the current Clinton, Tennessee Post Office.
Now a florist shop the former Clinton Tennessee post office building is beautifully maintained by the current owners. What a treat to see the building kept in such great shape. Unfortunately, when we arrived it was close so I was not able to see the inside or meet the owners.
But what can you tell me about this building? What was it like taking over this historic building? Are you one of the postal workers that once roamed this building? Were you involved in moving the mural to the new building? Please comment below and share your story below.
Thanks,
David W. Gates Jr.
