In 1937, Choate designed the medal of Harvard's Signet Society, which they present to alumni who have made significant achievements in the arts.
[9] The honor earned Choate sculpting commissions to craft a bas-relief for the Federal Building's doors at the 1939 World's Fair in Flushing Meadows and a relief for the U.S. Post Office in Pitman, New Jersey.
[10] A New Deal grant from the U.S. Treasury Department's Section of Fine Arts funded his design of the post office's "Four Winds" relief.
He sculpted a bust of Massachusetts Governor Robert F. Bradford and crafted a group of fish in aluminum for the SS United States's main lounge.
[10] In 1964, Choate designed a medal of Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story for a series by the Hall of Fame for Great Americans in New York.
[12] He also crafted the bronze medallion that decorated the headquarters of the Chemical Bank New York Trust Company (now JPMorgan Chase) at 34th Street in Manhattan.
Choate's mural stood for 53 years until City Tech razed the building it adorned in 2013 to construct a new educational complex.
While living there, he painted murals of Haiti and Trinidad for the Calypso at 146 Macdougal Street, a restaurant that served Caribbean cuisine.
