Levee murals, Denver Colorado.
The City of Denver has revitalized Lower Downtown Denver ("LoDo") into an area which has become a hot district of the city. Much of that revitalization involved redeveloping what had been an industrial area into a mixed residential urban district.
Everything depicted here, demonstrates that.
This area was once a very industrial area separating the Denver Heights from Downtown Denver, and it was all pretty gritty in some ways, although the Heights itself had been residential throughout. Now, it's all redone.
Included in the redoing were these efforts at murals. I can't say I regard them as a success, frankly, but the project is ongoing.

Flour Mills Mural, Wheatland Wyoming
These photographs depict a Flour Mills mural on the main street of Wheatland Wyoming. As can be seen from the photograph above, the building with the mural is directly across the street from the Platte County Courthouse in Wheatland, Wyoming.
Platte County was founded in 1911 by way of an irrigation project that brought farming into the region, so the mural is quite appropriate for the history of the town.

License Plate Mural, Wheatland Wyoming.
This is an outbuilding on the property of Platte County which features a mural of one of Wyoming's prior license plates. I don't know what the use of the building is, but everything on the block belongs to the county so it must have some governmental use.

Wilson Drug Company, Old Highlands District, Denver Colorado
This is a bad photograph, taken from inside my truck, of a building marked "Wilson Drug Co." in the Old Highlands District of Denver. I don't know how old this building is, but it's old.
