Now imagine what it must have looked like in color. I'm sure @Walt G can add more info on the art work. I believe that the images that you see are not painted on the walls and pillars. They most likely are pressed paper with the raised images of the cars etc. Note that they are exactly repeated in the same size . To have a display that needed to be in place at a rapid rate would not allow time for individual paintings in an era where most everything was oil based paint. I am not sure how exactly the presses were made to get the results you see here in the period photo but have an idea and that would take to much time to try to explain to be easily understandable here on the forums. Also long winded and the moderators would be asleep by the time they finished reading it. So what you see is a relief image not just a flat surface. Walt 4 1

I'd love to have a shop in that design with another 6' height. Here is a lead for you Dave. Google search image offered this. Doesn't work that often. Building apparently gone, was recently a Real Estate office on site? https://www.visaliatimesdelta.com/story/news/2017/11/14/jack-and-jeff-transfer-co-serving-valley-100-years/859040001/ Pic of truck start of clip then jumps?

30DodgePanel Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Then and now - 1700 Frederick Ave St Joseph MO. Only distinguishable by the structure in the background upper left. 1932 Today The irony is I lived in the house in the upper right corner just out of view when I was a kid and had no idea what this place once was. 4
