Robstown Post
Office Mural Photographer's
Note:
At the Robstown
Post Office we found this mural high on the wall. Its top is apparently at the
buildings original ceiling level. It is more than four feet high by twelve feet
wide. It is signed by Alice Reynolds and was painted in 1941.
At this
post office a modern drop-down ceiling has been installed at some point which
houses recessed fluorescent light fixtures and ceiling tiles. This ceiling has
been angularly transitioned adjacent to the mural so as to not cover it.
We
were told by a postal worker that the lady in the red dress was purported to be
Clara Driscoll of the
Driscoll Hotel, Corpus Christi fame and the Alamo land dispute with Adina
De Zavala and the DRT. - Ken
