I named this un-named piece.
County of Mural: Craig County.
The Building: Intriguing. This building has "Crowder Hotel" painted on the transom above the entry door. Also has "W.L. Trott" on the fascia (but not centered). And on the top of the building in metal has "RN HOTEL" I believe this building at one time was much larger and has, in effect, been cut in half. RN HOTEL could be "SoutheRN HOTEL" or WesteRN HOTEL", etc. see what I mean. I could not find any web site information to clear up the mystery.
Back to the Mural. From the left it shows a typical NE Oklahoma farm, and central area is domintaed by a large slough (or Pond or Slew) and the right is dominated by an old steam passenger train coming into the depot. No names on train, no name on depot.
Even with all the mystery. This is an interesting piece.
