GGIE - Western Neighborhoods Project

GGIE 1939

Night view of Federal Building with Herman Volz murals on front for Golden Gate International Exposition. The mural, titled 'The Conquest of the West', was, at that time, the largest mural in the world. After the Fair the Navy destroyed it when they took possession of Treasure Island. Herman Volz still has two other murals, mosaic ones he did at City College after the Fair.
