The South Texas Room A warm, relaxing atmosphere reflecting life in South Texas is shown in the mural by James Owen Mahoney, Jr. Allegorical figures symbolize the Gulf and mainland, with attributes of commerce and agriculture against a background of magnolias, palms, oleanders and Spanish moss. The walls of this room are burnished with aluminum leaf, a new material in 1936. All photographs connected with this page copyright © Paul Everitt. |
