Description

Colour photograph of the mural "Main Street" by Mike Svob, c. 1991.

Painted in 1989 by Mike Svob of Coquitlam, BC, at 22 King Street, 58' X 17'.

Two views are portrayed in this mural of early downtown Welland. On the right, a mid-19th century East Main Street scene shows the Ross building and neighbouring stores. On the left, we see a stylized vision of the inside of the Morwood store, an original Welland retailer that opened in 1856 and lasted over a century.
