The Secretary, or rather C.C. Davison, Acting Chief Clerk, paying from the Department's till, which I suppose means that my grandparents picked up the tab (or some tiny fraction of it, divided among the taxpaying public).
They might have quibbled about Adams' claim of a big-time, luxury, Pullman, round-trip, sleeper-car fare from Lexington to DC; but they didn't know that the Mural Project images would be the eventual result.
One might note mention of plans of the Interior Building and the locations of existing murals. I wonder where Adams imagined his murals might go, when he first saw the building plans. In the entryway? In personal offices? Open bays? The halls?
