ADDRESS: 206 N. Elm, Paris, Arkansas, 72855
ARTIST: Joseph P. Vorst
TITLE: Rural Arkansas
MEIDUM: Mural
STATUS: The mural resides in the lobby above the postmaster’s door.
YEAR: 1940

Hard to believe it was back in April of this year that I visited this one. I’m just getting around to posting the images now in December. I’ve been crazy busy working on the books, and just dealing with life.

Anyway, I have a few more Arkansas buildings I’ll be posting over the next few weeks. Time to get back into focusing on the blog.

I had a wonderful visit to Paris and distinctly remember the clerk introducing me to Post masters: Arkansas post office art in the new deal published about the post offices in Arkansas. I’ll include this in the sources section below. And now for the images. So far I’ve been unable to find this one, but I’ll keep looking.

    • As always, thanks for the additional information, I was disappointed to see the date covered up in this one. But you of course have graciously provided the needed confirmation on this.

      Happy Holiday’s Mr. Mis.
