Julia Ideson Building
The 1926 Spanish Renaissance-style Julia Ideson Building reflects the optimistic spirit of the 1920s in an oil boom town. But within a decade of completion, the country’s fortunes had turned and, during the Great Depression, the interior became a canvas for muralists of the Works Progress Administration. A total of eight murals painted by three women make it Houston’s largest collection of WPA murals.
