Was this spot a door way leading to the back yard? or just a large window closed off? .. No one in town really knew...

I find nothing on the web about this mural. I did find a couple photos of people standing in front of it...but no history..
In the Legends Travel web I found this "We had a great time visiting with Gerald and Connie Cunningham, meeting Bob Ault, the piano playing wonder, and visiting with Blackwater's city clerk, painter of the murals in town, and local historian -- Bonnie Rapp."
Explains a little..but not much.
Best I can tell the building is now vacant..closed off with drapes and curtains..it is in a historic district, but this building is NC.
"3.) 105 Main Street, ca. 1990.
(Automobile Repairs.)
A one-part
commercial block with one storefront,
and a brick archway. Most of this façade
has recently been installed, and the rest
of the building was built in the 1990s.
