Andrew Robinson mural

Could you please help me locate the WPA mural you described at Andrew Robinson Elementary School in Jacksonville. I am writing an independent study about the WPA in Jacksonville; today I visited with the principal there and she did not know about the mural. Do you recall its location in the school? The address of the school? Or who you dealt with when you visited the artwork? Thanks. Dianne
