Hyattsville Post Office
Eugene Kingman painted five murals for the Post Office in Hyattsville, Maryland. These murals have been described in "Maryland and Delaware Off the Beaten Path" as "... depict[ing] the working man in heroic proportions. They reflect the remains of the agricultural and pastoral quality of the Hyattsville lifestyle that still existed in 1937, when Kingman used such muralist techniques as stylized horses, foreshortening, and a decorative cornstalk border."
