WPA Art, Uptown Post Office

4850 N. Broadway St., Chicago IL 60640

The historic Uptown Station post office in Chicago, Illinois was constructed in 1939 with federal Treasury Department funds. The two murals in the Uptown Post Office celebrate two Chicago icons, Carl Sandburg and Louis Sullivan. They are glazed ceramic tile murals, painted by Henry Varnum Poor in 1943 and funded by the Treasury Section of Fine Arts.

The Sullivan mural shows iron-workers and factories, with Louis Sullivan holding a model of his Carson Pirie Scott & Co. building.

The other mural shows Sandburg in a rural setting holding a guitar, with a farmer standing on the left.

Danny Lyon, Uptown, Chicago, Illinois, USA, 1965

“All the pictures in Uptown were made on a single block, Clifton Street. Lyon would ride there on his Triumph. Many years had passed when an Uptown teen, Rita Knight, sent Danny an email: ‘I have displayed your picture in my home and I get lots of comments and love to tell the story of the hippie that came over on his scooter, that gave us a dollar to pose for pictures. Take care, I love those pictures. It was a sad time in America, but some of us made it out . . . I am still married to the same boy I was with when you were there. I plan to be cremated and then some friends will sneak over and put some of my ashes on Wilson and Magnolia, and then some out at the lake where we spent so many happy days.’”
