Overview
From 1936 to 1937, artist Reginald Marsh painted frescoes decorating the main rotunda inside the former Alexander Hamilton U.S. Customs House, using funds from the New Deal-era Treasury Relief Art Project (TRAP). The frescoes depict eight New York Harbor scenes and eight portraits of historic navigators, and pose an interesting welcome to visitors at what is now the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian.
