Jim Waid did the work in 1977. You can read more on the library's website.

Maybe a mural, part 60: saw a door on S. Meyer

I snapped them on July 28, 2013.

Casa de las Flores

This long mural, titled (at the top-left corner) Casa de las Flores (House of the Flowers), is on the east side of Olsen south of 9th.
