Description
Construction-PWA interior mural at the Beverly Hills Post Office, 1936, by Charles Kassler, Jr. The six-panel mural shows workers high atop a construction site and then standing in line to collect from the "PWA Paymaster". The whole effect is optimistic, though, with workers in the last panel gathering at the street fruit market to spend their hard-won wages. PWA stands for the Public Works Administration. It was a federal jobs program. Sponsored by Treasury Relief Project. Fresco, 6 lunettes -- Dunitz, Street gallery, rev. 2nd ed., p.173, #3
