ADDRESS: 112 Gault Avenue South, Fort Payne, Alabama, 35967
David,
According to Livingnewdeal.org the oil-on-canvas mural “Harvest at Fort Payne” in the former Ft. Payne Post Office was painted by Harwood Steiger in 1938. The mural was originally in the post office, then moved to the DeKalb County Courthouse in 1980 after a new post office was built. In 2001, it was moved to Hunt Hall which is part of the Hosiery Museum. I contacted the building office of the building owner, (named removed for privacy). The building was constructed in 1936. Despite the number of years being vacant, the building isn’t in terrible shape, but there are signs of weathering.
Best regards, Roger
