Interior entrance hall, U.S. Custom House, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The U.S. Custom House in Philadelphia, a federal building project of the Depression era, was begun in December 1932. It is distinguished by richness of materials, quality of design, and by an interior mural program by a major local artist, Brandywine School artist George Harding. Ritter & Shay, one of the most prominent architectural firms in Philadelphia, gave the new building classical details in both structure and ornamentation. The entrance hall shows classical pilasters, frieze, and cornice in an Art Deco style.

Achilles Among the Daughters of Lycomedes
According to a prophecy, the Greeks could not take Troy without Achilles, but he was doomed to die in that war. Achilles' mother Thetis therefore sent him to the island of Skyros, where he lived disguised as a maiden with the daughters of King Lycomedes. Odysseus was sent to retrieve Achilles for the Greek cause. Disguised as a trader, he laid out feminine jewelry and ornaments along with masculine weapons, then arranged for a military alarm to be sounded. Benbridge has shown the moment when Achilles, still wearing a woman's clothing, hears the alarm and claps a helmet on his head, thus revealing his true identity. The story appears in many versions; the most detailed is by the Roman poet Statius in his Achilleid. It is the subject of paintings by Poussin and others.
