Rediscover Illinois's 75 New Deal Post Offices

The United States Postal Service is selling historic buildings. Some of these house historic artwork created during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Not all the murals remain in their original location. In some cases the fate of the art, and buildings, remains unknown. Learn which towns have murals and which murals have been moved.

The Illinois Post Office Mural Guidebook will teach you the following:

  • What buildings and towns have murals viewable by the public.
  • What buildings have been closed and the artwork moved.
  • What buildings have been razed.
  • Success stories of lost and found murals.

Gates, David W., Jr.: - David W. Gates Jr. is a post office enthusiast and award winning author who has traveled thousands of miles nationwide in search of historic post office buildings and art. He blogs about his work at: www.postofficefans.com. Although the murals have been around for more than 86 years, David discovered how often these are overlooked. Join David in his quest to visit them all. He lives in Crystal Lake, IL with his wife and son. When not photographing and documenting post offices, he can be found cooking, baking, hiking, or involved in do-it-yourself projects at home, not necessarily all at once and not necessarily in that order.
