  • (First Floor) Half Circles over the transom of six doors.  Each half circle is 35 inches high at vertical center and 75 inches wide at baseline.  These are painted on a very coarse canvas adhered to thin, multi-ply wood board.  The plywood supports may be later additions.  The plywood is attached over the door transoms by a few finishing nails driven into the perimeter of the bard and into wall plaster.  Each circle is a representation of state, national, and local, official seals.
