ADDRESS: 102 N. Market St., Rockville, Indiana 47872
ARTIST: Milton Avery
TITLE: Landscape
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas (mural)
STATUS: The Rockville post office is still an active, operating facility, and the mural can be viewed by interested members of the public. It resides in the lobby on a wall above the postmaster’s door.
YEAR: 1939
Another stop during my September 2021 road trip. Unfortunately the lobby was closed so I was not able to see the mural. However, the weather was beautiful and photographing the exterior was a pleasure. Love the blue skies and green grass.
Update: re-visited in February 2022 for mural images. Enjoy!
