This tile mural created some 70 years ago by Ethel Wilson Harris at her Mexican Arts and Crafts workshop on the banks of the San Antonio River has returning home.
Susan Toomey Frost purchased the mural and hired a tile preservationist from California to painstakingly remove the tiles from their setting in concrete. After searching seven years for the right place for the public to enjoy the mural dating from the Works Progress Administration (WPA) era, Frost has donated the decorative art tiles to the San Antonio River Foundation.
