Oregon Trail Mural - Downtown Springfield

For more information about the mural, see - http://www.emeraldartcenter.org/Mural.html

This is the historic Sutton building, which for years housed Gerlach Drug Store. A camera shop inside went by the name, Gerlach's Camera Center. The building is now owned by Emerald Art Center.


NOTE: Ken is right! (see comment below) - I didn't mention that there used to be a camera dealer in this building. Ken ought to know, he was the one! He bought the camera shop from Mr Gerlach, the man who started it and ran it, along with his drug store. I believe Ken started out working for Mr. Gerlach and ended up buying the camera shop. And yes, I did buy camera equipment from him. :)

Wonderful. You may not ever get a better shot. You'd have to get the tow truck to take the cars out of the way!
