TUSCUMBIA – Here are a few more photos which were taken over at Tuscumbia’s City Hall grand opening. You can never know when The quad-Cities Daily may show up to photograph. Earlier today, we published lots of nice photos by Dave Reasons. And we found some other pix from yesterday, that our readers might like to see.

It was shipped on April 29, 1939 and installed a few days later. H. G. Sockwell was Postmaster.The FAP’s primary goals were to employ out-of-work artists and to provide art for non-federal government buildings: schools, hospitals, libraries, etc
