Wood & Swink Post Office
Evinston, Florida.
In 1884, the Florida Southern Railroad went through what is now Evinston, where a General Store and Post Office were built. In 1909 H.D. Wood and Robert Evins bought the store. Fred Wood became the Postmaster in 1934 and served in that capacity for 44 years, longer than any other Postmaster in the State of Florida.
The Store and Post Office are on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and is one of the few Country Store-Post Offices remaining today.
The painting was done for several shows where I participated, in North Central Florida, two of which were in Gainesville. I had taken pictures of the horse drawn mail wagon from the Greenfield Village Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. I included it in the design of the painting.

Cass Taxi
Cassopolis, Michigan
Not all paintings, that I created were for sale. I have painted a number of them as gifts for members of our family. Cass Taxi, was a present for my mother and father. When my dad got of WWII, he bought a chicken coop and made a taxi business in the center of the village of Cassopolis, Michigan.
In addition to the taxi business, of which my mother and dad ran 24 hours a day between the two of them, they also had a Greyhound bus station. The painting was a picture of them standing in front of the office, with my mother holding our Boston terrier, “Puggie”.
They ran the Taxi business from 1947 until 1957. I painted the painting and gave it to them for Christmas in about 1989. The painting now hangs in my home.
Cartersville Train Depot
Cartersville, Georgia
During the 1980’s, I traveled and exhibited in a number of shows in the Georgia area, including my home town at that time. Cartersville had several quaint places that I painted during that era, which included their train depot. It sat in the middle of the downtown shopping district, where all the activity was. The trains still came through the center of town on their way to somewhere, USA. The depot was no longer used for passengers. The brick design was duplicated in other towns, as I was told that they used the same blueprint on all of the depots on that railroad line.
The painting and prints were very popular with the locals as I had a set of four Cartersville landmarks, The 4-Way Lunch, Train Depot, Roselawn, Ross Diner, and of course the Euharlee Covered Bridge which was a short distance west of town.
