The mural on the north side of this building was commissioned by Harper’s Restaurant in 1990. The artist Blue Sky completed the 14×60 foot mural in the summer of 1991.
The painting depicts Five Points as it might have appeared from a vantage point halfway up Devine Street hill. The restaurant now sits where the white stucco Gulf Station was in the year 1948; known to most as the old Harper’s Restaurant.
The black 1941 Dodge on the extreme right end of the picture belonged to the artist’s cousin Eugene Elison Fetner – Inventor, photographer and a true gentleman (1929-1990).
Gene taught Sky how to draw at age six.
This painting is dedicated to his memory.
