I’d be remiss if I didn’t say: Many of my teammates for this project, are leaving The Post, some not by choice.
The photo editor was laid off. The project editor was laid off. The consulting graphics editor was laid off. The text editor has a new job.

In 2021, I FOIA’d the database of USPS’s New Deal art, and each work’s condition.
In 2022, records came back with a massive spreadsheet & 1,700+ historical photos.
In 2024, I wrote the first draft of this story, at home in bed with Covid.
And now, we can finally bring you the full project.

The disappearing art gallery in your post office
The U.S. Postal Service is home to thousands of historic works of art in post offices nationwide. Hundreds have been lost, sold or destroyed.
