Town founder Isaac Trabue and
Henry Plant, the man who built railroads on the west coast of There are two separate murals on
this building. One mural, taken from historic photos, is of steam locomotive
Number 11 pulling into town. The second mural emphasizes items shipped
from this area. They included citrus, pineapple, cattle, and seafood. Artist Richard Currier says many
people are not aware that Trabue and Plant, although they needed to do business
together, did not like each other. That is why he purposely painted a
scowl on their faces as they look at each other. This mural was originally painted in 1997 and was repainted in January 2009 restoring it back to its original state and rededicated on May 28, 2009. This restoration was partially funded by Dr. Idewu, the new owner of the building. |
