Mural of Welch #1

Thornton’s Mill and Oklahoma State Bank, which was
chartered in 1910, are pictured in this mural of scenes from the early
days of Welch, Oklahoma. The mural is part of a series located in the
Welch State Bank which are open for viewing by the public. Bank
President Charles Stoner commissioned the work in 1985 to re-vitalize
the small community of Welch by appealing to the pride and sense of
history of its residents. The art works were created by Dr. Nicholas
Calcagno, who was chairman of the Art Department and a Humanities
instructor at Northeast Oklahoma A & M College in Miami at the time. |
