ADDRESS: 300 South Lincoln Avenue, Bridgeport, Ohio, 43912
ARTIST: Richard Kenah
TITLE: Ohio Harvest
MEDIUM: Oil on Canvas (mural)
STATUS: The Bridgeport post office is still an active, operating facility and the mural can be viewed by interested members of the public. The mural resides in the lobby on a wall above the postmaster’s door.
YEAR: 1940

My goal for the road trip I took in October of 2022 was to specifically visit this one. It was the winner in the 1939 48 Sate mural competition.

I had a great trip, it was very early in the morning when I made it here. The sun was just coming up. The heavy shadow you see just below the building is the bridge behind me from where I was photographing.

Sadly, the lobby was closed on the weekend when I made my initial stop. I returned three days later during business hours to get the mural images. This visit took me to 23 post offices.

Interesting this is the third entry I have recorded here on Post Office Fans, a popular stop.

Guest Post – Roger

The mural in Bridgeport was one of the winning entries of the 48-States Mural Competition. It was painted by Richard Kenah and installing in 1940. I love the colors and feeling of this mural.

Today’s featured post is another one visited and photographed by Roger.
