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!

Ever since i can remember, i have been (religiously) going for the Mahashtami anjali.
This is me with my aunt looking pretty happy as we barely managed the anjali - there are batches for doing this and we were on the last one..phew!

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.
Another childhood memory gone west, the post office in Pontnewydd, recently transferred to a nearby newsagents and now to let. My mother used to take my twin brother and myself in here to buy National Savings stamps with Prince Charles and Princess Anne on them. Later, I obtained my first PO Savings Book, and got my first passport (a British Visitor's Passport or a school exchange trip) here. Memories.
This post office, about the only thing left in Franklin, MO, is on the list of possible closures as of August 2011.
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.
