The U.S. Courthouse in Tallahassee's main lobby is decorated with eight murals by Ulreich illustrating scenes from Florida's history. The murals were funded by the Treasury Department's Section of Painting and Sculpture, a New Deal program that commissioned artists. Ulreich won a competition to paint the murals, which he completed in 1939. He also painted Southwestern motifs and worked as an illustrator.
He was in Europe for several months before returning to New York in 1915 and serving in the U.S. Army. After World War I he did his first murals for Denishawn Studios in California and then painted church murals, wall hangings and did marble mosaics for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair's Century of Progress exhibition. He died in San Francisco in 1966 and is buried at the Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno, San Mateo County, California.
