This mural in downtown Stillwater depicts scenes from the early days of Oklahoma. This is a pale colored painting, with dark colors used for the focal points: people and buildings. Some of the scenes depicted are:
Town street; horse and wagon; grocer sweeping the street while talking to a girl with a box of apples; Cooksey's truck ("Home of Good Foods/Phone 915); Rotary International symbol; an elderly woman standing next to two young children; stacks of barrels; Williamson-Halsell-Fraser delivery truck; Coca Cola sign, and the following text at the far upper right corner: First Bank, First Church, First School.


From the downtownstw link provided by the Stillwater Public Library:

"Starting at the intersection of
Ninth and Main, as you look to the northwest corner, you will see the “building where everything started.” What was formerly known as the Swope Building has been altered drastically, but you can see a
mural commemorating its past. Amon Swope was an active participant in the founding of Stillwater, and started the first bank in this building. The first city council meetings, church services, and public school classes were all held here. Later businesses at this
location included the New York Racket and Cooksey’s Grocery."
