In 2014, we Waymarked this vintage service station when it was vacant. We recently returned to Wellston and found an amazing transformation. The building is currently occupied by Bob Palmer as the Red Dirt Art Gallery, an artists' co-op. Palmer has painted this mural on the south side of the building. It advertises for The Steffenson Agency, an agent for American Farmers & Ranchers Insurance.
This is a colorful mural showing a farm scene, with a large barn in the background. In the foreground is a split rail fence, with a windmill, a horse, tractor and rooster. Written on the mural is AFR Ins. est. 1905", "Wellston Local Est. 1921", and "Steffenson Agency Est. 1991".
We just learned that the Red Dirt Art Gallery and Bob Palmer plan to move to a new location in Oklahoma City in the summer of 2019. This mural, of course, will remain.
