Old Post Office, Tiffin, Ohio

Magnificent building. In spite of the Greek details, it has an almost Egyptian feel to it. Let's compromise and say it would fit right in at Ptolemaic Alexandria.

Is the old post office decorated with paintings or artwork done by WPA artists during the Depression?
(As is the case in Chicago ...)

I don't think this one, but there are a lot like that in Ohio. I know, because my nephew is doing research on the subject.

A few more pictures here - I don't think there's any artwork:

Fostoria's Post Office has a lot of cool Art Deco metalwork though.
