The Lincolnton Post Office was built in 1937. The most stunning feature of the post office is the mural that hangs on the west wall of the entry. Richard H. Jansen’s mural, “Threshing Grain,” was painted in Jansen’s studio in Milwaukee Wisconsin. It has a total approximate area of 63 square feet, painted in oil on canvas. It was transported to Lincolnton by train and hangs in the same place it has been since 1938. Jansen received $610 for the commissioned painting, which depicts a rural Lincoln County scene. Thanks to contributions from the US Postal Service and local individuals and businesses, the mural was professionally restored in 2005.
