Another beautiful WPA era building. Not only does it boast a great mural but is also well maintained. I was happy when I arrived and had no issues waiting to photograph it.
A great mural of the country-side of what Wisconsin would have looked like back in the 1930’s. Kinda cool!
Thanks for stopping by,
