Main Archway Ceiling

This project was made possible by a grant from the Pearl Chase Society.  In 2009, over 4 months were spent restoring the main arch ceiling to the original condition. The project involved documenting existing conditions and then repainting the archway to restore the lost images that were damaged due to time and weather.

At just over 4,200 square feet, this mural depicts the early settlement years of California prior to becoming the 49th State.
