This mini-mural drawing adorns a wall on the lower level of the historic Reed Opera House. It is of the historic 1880 Capital National Bank Building which I posted previously. The interesting thing is that is shows the original street-level front which unfortunately was 'modernized'. Some interesting history of the building is provided by the Salem Public Library.

That is great photo, thank you for sharing.
I just love those old buildings.
Cheers
This is really an exceptional historic building. I love your photo of the mural with the plaster showing. Great photo.
This is such a beautifull mural! If it was here someone will put some grafitty there too :(
Nice! It serves a double purpose: it adorns the opera house and is also a historic reminder.
I like the variation of all your photos, Jill! They take me by surprise. Love it!
Love the juxtaposition of the rough wall and the beautiful design.
