This very large mural (20 feet high and 80 feet long) painted in 1983, that faces Main Street is of the front of the old Wise Hotel and the owners that once stood a little further down Main St.
The people in the mural are supposed to be Mr. & Mrs. Wise who owned the hotel, but as there was no picture of Mr. Wise available, the painter used a photo of his son to create the image of his father.
The image is composed of six windows, two sets of doors a couple rocking chairs, the owners and the porch railing running the length of this entire building.
