Public Library
619 Fourth Avenue
Rochelle, Illinois
The Flagg Township Public Library of Rochelle, Illinois has a wonderful collection of New Deal art. It includes "Merry Go Round", an oil on canvas mural by Ethel Spears done in 1939, two PWAP oil on canvas paintings (unknown artists), a sketch for a WPA mural by Frances Badger (1934), and two WPA watercolors by unknown artists (one in the reading room and one in the conference room). This library is a great place to visit for the artwork, including the fantastic frieze at the top of the building (exterior walls).
