How the Drugstore Mural Looked in 1972
Posted August 4, 2016 at 5:20 am by Peggy Sue McRae
If you follow the Update you may remember the recent post, Origins of the Drugstore Mural “For Love of an Island” with a story by Lori Stokes about how she discovered the story behind the mural. Lori now sends us photographs from 1972 that show the entire mural…
From Lori Stokes…
Here are two photos of the original drug store mural, taken before part of the mural was covered up when the two portions of the store were joined. The photos were taken by Tom Brudenell, a former resident of Shaw, who oversaw the mural’s creation by a group of islanders in 1972. When Tom and I recently spoke on the phone, he said he had some photos in his files of the entire mural and would send them to me. Here they are!

I’ve always wondered about that mural! Thank you, Lori, for your sleuthing on this! Are there any plans to restore the portion that is still visible?
I’m not aware of any plans for restoration.
