Stephen Stuart Gibson has painted the south side of this commercial building with an beautiful seascape mural he calls "A Bay Day." The mural depicts a pair of elongated arched openings through which you can see the bay beyond. The flowers and leaves burst through the side corners of the archways in mirror image orientation. The scene on the left has a sailboat passing through a drawbridge. The scene on the right has a sailboat sailing before a salt marsh. The sailboat is tacking and the mast and sails protrude towards the viewer and through the arched opening.
The image is created in soft pastel-like colors and the composition looks three dimensional when viewed straight on. The mural is signed by Stephen Stuart Gibson on the left side. A plaque above his name is inscribed:
