The Oyster Bay Post Office in Oyster Bay, New York was completed in 1936. New York architect William Bottomley designed this colonial revival structure to mirror the Oyster Bay Town Hall across the street. Inside are murals by the prominent American artist, illustrator and author Ernest Peixotto, depicting scenes in Oyster Bay from 1653 to 1936 when the Post Office was built. This building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and featured on the Oyster Bay History Walk. #oysterbay #historicoysterbay #uspostoffice #longisland #neoclassical #1930sarchitecture #ernestpeixotto #williamlawrencebottomley #interiorarchitecture #historicpreservation #architecturalheritage #archilovers #ceilings #ceilingswithfeelings #archihunter #archi_ologie #federalist #civicarchitecture #architecturephotography @savingplaces @oldlongisland @oysterbaymsa 📸5pics

Last night went to the first night of Holidays @Filoli, the stunning Woodside estate and mansion designed by Willis Polk and completed in 1917 for William Bourn II, the president of the Spring Valley Water Co, and whose family also owned the Empire Mine, the richest gold mine in California. This home and its grounds were built as a country house, according to the National Register application, "at the climax of a period when the wealthy, social leaders of San Francisco and California were out-doing each other in grandeur of country houses and gardens." For the next month and a half, Filoli is lit up for the holiday season, with an amazing light tunnel and lights everywhere on the vast acreage (Filoli has 654 acres in total). We also visited inside the mansion. The ballroom reminded me of the ballroom at the Bellevue Club in Oakland. The murals were painted in 1924 by San Francisco artist Ernest Peixetto, and are called the Killarney-Muckross murals, because they were painted to evoke the estate Bourn gave his daughter Maud and her Irish husband in Ireland, after Bourn was too old to travel to visit them anymore.Peixetto went to Muckross to make sketches for the murals. The Irish Times noted in an article that the estate has many close ties to Ireland, from the 110 Irish yew trees on the property, to its Georgian Revival style design (except for the Spanish Colonial revival tile roof). An Irish painter, William Orpen, painted the portraits of William Bourn and his wife Agnes, that hang in one of the drawing rooms. The Baccarat crystal chandeliers in the ballroom were selected by Maud Bourn in Paris, modeled on the chandeliers at the Palace of Versailles.The estate was donated by its second owner, Lurline Matson Roth (of the Matson shipping line) to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1975. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

Filoli, Woodside, California. The House itself, a gargantuan edifice of 54,256 square feet, has--of course--a Ballroom. The walls of this room--which measures 70 feet long by 32 feet wide, with 22 foot ceilings--are entirely decorated with enormous murals painted by Ernest Peixotto (done in the 1920s). #filoli #filolihouse #wallmural #ernestpeixotto #woodsidecalifornia

The Oyster Bay Post Office in Oyster Bay, New York was completed in 1936. New York architect William Bottomley designed this colonial revival structure to mirror the Oyster Bay Town Hall across the street. Inside are murals by the prominent American artist, illustrator and author Ernest Peixotto, depicting scenes in Oyster Bay from 1653 to 1936 when the Post Office was built. This building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and featured on the Oyster Bay History Walk. The first Oyster Bay Post Office was located in Ezra Minor’s house on East Main Street around the year 1800. In subsequent years there were at least three other Post Office buildings in the village of Oyster Bay. This building was completed in 1936 with a focus on art and architecture. New York architect William Bottomley designed this colonial revival structure to be a mirror image of the Town Hall building it opposes, and he hired two prominent artists to adorn it with historical murals and sculptures. The work was created under the Treasury Relief Art Project. The prominent American artist illustrator and author Ernest Peixotto was commissioned to paint five murals which are in themselves, a tour of historic Oyster Bay, depicting scenes from 1653 to 1936. The vaulted ceiling was painted by Peixotto assistant, Arthur Sturges and depicts beautiful women representing different countries sending mail to North America on ships and planes. Mercury, the winged messenger, sits atop the dome to receive the mail with speed. Leo Lentelli, a noted Italian sculptor, whose work can be seen throughout America on public buildings created the terracotta panels above the interior doorways, depicting the continents symbolized by animals. On the Africa/Oceania panel the dates 1858 and 1919 refer to the years of Theodore Roosevelt's life. On the Asia/America panel the date 1902 refers to the year Roosevelt returned to Oyster Bay as President and the year 1936, the year the Post Office was built. #archilovers #c1936 #williamlawrencebottomley @thepostalproject #peixotto #ernestpeixotto #colonialrevival #oysterbay #architecturephotography #cupola #bullseyewindow #arthursturges #leolentelli 📸8pics

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🌱☘️🍀⠀ Did you know that the Bourn family owned Muckross Estate in Co. Kerry, Ireland? The Bourn’s daughter Maud and her Irish husband Arthur Vincent lived there. The murals in the Ballroom are all of Muckross! And fun fact: the murals were painted by artist Ernest Peixotto in a muted color palette to match the wall color chosen by Agnes Bourn. #filoli⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #countryestate #muckross #ireland #happystpatricksday #cokerry #mural #ernestpeixotto #oldhouselove #historichouse #oldhousecharm #historichomesofamerica #countryhouse #georgianarchitecture #decorgram #trustsites #siliconvalley #woodside #loveredwoodcity #bayarea #sfpeninsula #pastels #ballroom
