New Deal Art & Architecture at the Clinton Federal Building
September 20, 2023 |
Join the DC Preservation League and GSA's Fine Arts Specialist Nick Hartigan for a tour highlighting an impressive collection of New Deal era murals (including over 20 paintings and frescoes that depict a “romantic history” of the U.S. Postal Service). This is a rare opportunity to learn about the architecture and artworks in their original context. This tour offers a snapshot of America in the 1930s that captures the hopes, ideals, and ingrained cultural attitudes of the country at that time. Please note that this tour is occurring at a unique time based on the building's hours and employees. The Clinton Federal Building once housed the US Post Office Department and is now the headquarters of the EPA. Visitors must register online and bring a photo ID with them on the day of the event.
This event is free and open to the public. Space is limited for this tour and registration is required to attend, so make sure to sign up today!
