Removed from the Silver Spring post office in 1981,the mural was located by Silver Spring Historical Society founder Jerry A. McCoy in 1994. We postal employees unrolled the mural for the first time, it was covered with Japanese tissue paper to protect the painting's surface. Friends of the Silver Spring Library raised $25,000 to conserve the mural, rededicated a the Silver Spring Library July 7, 1997. |
