Living New Deal"Two murals were created in 1940 for the post office in Livingston. The postal service relocated in 1975, and both murals remained in the old post office which became the police department. In the late 1990's a new police department was built and the city prepared to demolish the old post office. The local historical society then began a local campaign to save the murals. A USPS conservator was sent from Houston but only restored “Buffalo Hunting,” which hangs in the present Livingston post office. The other mural, “Landscape Mural,” survives only as one 3'x3' section—in very poor condition—at a local museum."
