If I recall right, there was a sixth panel that I wasn't able to photograph.
Here's the artist's obituary from 2003, courtesy of the Associated Press:
Artist Richard Zoellner, known for his New Deal murals, abstract paintings and prints, died Thursday at his home in Tuscaloosa. He was 94.
His work is included in the permanent collections of some major museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art.
A native of Portsmouth, Ohio, Zoellner graduated from the Cincinnati Art Academy. He studied in New York City and Mexico as a recipient of a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation scholarship.
From 1933 to 1942 he maintained his own studio in Cincinnati and received a number of public and private commissions as part of the U.S. Treasury Section of Fine Arts, part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal administration.
His commissions included murals for the U.S. Post Offices in Cleveland, Georgetown, Hamilton, Medina, and Portsmouth, Ohio; and Mannington, W. Va. Other commissions included paintings for U.S. Marine hospitals and murals for the Cincinnati Zoo.
His paintings and sculpture-like prints were known for their energy and vibrant application of color and pattern. He served for 33 years on the University of Alabama's art faculty, retiring in 1978.
In 1992, at 84, he exhibited 15 critically acclaimed new works of art inspired by a trip to the Yucatan peninsula and the architecture of its Mayan ruins.
Survivors include his wife, Willita Skelton Goodson Zoellner; his son, David Zoellner; a stepson, artist Nathan Goodson of Tuscaloosa; and grandchildren.
In April 2020 despite local protest the Post Office was franchised. It was suddenly closed when the staff resigned due to lack of support from the new management.
This notice was taped to the front door!

Lamp post in the Suburbs. I wanted to retake one of my earlier shots but with the lamp post lights turned on. I'm not sure if I like this one better but I think in general, when one looks at a light, they want to know what it looks like when it's lit up. So here it is.
I've been MIA once again. My sweet little Em finally had her long awaited surgery. Hopefully her heart is as good as it can be now. She will always be a cardiac patient, but I pray that she will not have to undergo any more open heart surgeries from now on! Even so, we are so thankful that we are in a place with a world class surgeon who knows exactly how to deal with issues like hers. So very thankful.
Here is a picture of a Post Office. What troubles did early Post Offices face, and what did they do to protect themselves?

Partially completed post office and van. There a gap where the shop sign goes. I've still to decide whether to use the old style "Oifig an Phoist" in old Irish script or the newer style.

"Built in 1875 by local builder, Alexander Frew, around an earlier structure. An imposing country post office having good civic architectural qualities which makes a suitable entrance to the other civic buildings in Dean Street in terms of style, scale and height. Frew included an arcaded verandah on Kiewa Street, which has since been filled in. The present open verandah is part of a later extension. The truncated clock tower was added in the 1920's and built of timber disguised as masonry."

"Saxtead Green Post Windmill is a Grade II listed post mill at Saxtead Green, Framlingham, Suffolk, England.
The mill, which is also an Ancient Monument and has been restored, dates back to at least 1796 when the miller was Amos Webber."
The main post office in Manhattan resembles the Finnish House of Parliament -- compare to, say, this photo by wstryder. :)
Post Mortem CDV by D. McLeod, Sterling, Illinois. The lady's name is scrawled on the back, but I cannot read it.

This piece belongs in what I call, my Post-IT Collection. Quite different from what I would normally do, this collection is quirky, fun, playful and would definitely kick-start a conversation! I hope it brings a smile to your face as it did to mine when I first conceived this idea :)
A true statement piece … created with polymer clay, imprints and then handpainted individually. The focal beads are finished with a thick coat of resin giving it a glass-like feel, at the same time magnifying all the beautiful details of the imprints within.
* The ear wires are 20 gauge, .925 sterling silver plated wires (copper core), slightly hammered for strength and form.
* The resin is supposedly waterproof (as stated on the packing that comes with the resin) but just for safety purposes I would not advise wearing the pendant while swimming or in a shower.
