This mural is located on 3 sides of The Warehouse Restaurant. It is actually 3 distinct murals depicting the varied history of the location as the function of the building has changed over time. The murals cover almost from ground level to the top of the 2-story building.
The 1st of the murals (located on the west side) shows a stylized warehouse setting with a wagon being unloaded and a maid walking the stairs in the rear.
The 2nd of the murals (located on the north side) depicts a brewmiester and his helper checking the brew kettles and barrels.
The 3rd of the murals (located on the east side) depicts a multitude of revellers drinking and socializing, as well as a bartender plying his trade.
In May of 2011 I drove by this waymark and noticed they were painted over and then in June I doscovered they had been changed. See the updated picture below.
This Mural Waymark is now being revised because of an email from the artist of the the current mural.
This mural has been revitalized by artist Douglas Rouse. The mural completely covers the East, North and West sides of the building, it is just about 10,000 S.F. The mural actually just reached completion on Sept. 8, 2011. Douglas has done a number of indoor/outdoor murals in Colorado Springs, he specializes in perspective painting, chalk art and speed painting.
