U.S. Post Office, Flushing, Queens, New York, New York
Neo-Georgian in design (1932), it is unassuming until you visit the muraled lobby. Architects were Dwight James Baum and William W. Knowles. The post office contains a massive mural by Vincent Aderente (Waldorf Astoria muralist) that wraps around the interior of the lobby. The mural depicts scenes from the early history of 12 communities served by the Flushing Post Office. The murals were funded by the Treasury Section of Fine Arts in 1933-34.
