This New Deal artwork imagines the Weddell House as it looked in Abraham Lincoln's day. The "J. P. Ross" sign above the entrance refers to the hotel operator who managed the Weddell House in the early 1860s. Born in Utica, New York, Paul Kucharyson (1914-1977) was an American printmaker whose art depicted everyday American scenes ranging from farms to streetscapes. He is especially known for his work in the Works Progress Administration (WPA) Federal Art Project. | Creator: Paul Kucharyson | Date: ca. 1935-1939 | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Fine Arts and Special Collections DepartmentDownload Original File
