Mural set for Historic Post Office could see new home
A mural that was originally slated to go in the Historic Post Office in Melfort may be seen in a different spot.
At the City of Melfort’s Regular Council Meeting, discussion was started about the Public Art Policy, as well as the mural that was required with the grant toward the window rehabilitation project at the post office. With that also came a donor recognition wall that was originally set to be engraved post office boxes, but that now could also change.
The mural is already completed but when members of the Preservation and Rehabilitaion Committee (PARC) saw the large piece of art, they felt the Post Office may not be the right spot.
“They thought it was probably a great addition to the city,” Mayor Rick Lang said. “But not well-suited to the old post office because they felt that it wouldn’t get the proper viewing in there.”
