This picture was taken during the 1980-81 renovation, just before it reopened. We do not know if it was made for the library's 1968 or 1981 renovation. It has been suggested that the pattern in the planters is reminiscent of Lynn Ford's carvings. At some unknown time, the planter, along with several others, was put into storage because of space issues. Some of them have been moved to the library only recently for evaluation purposes. This planter is in okay condition, but it has been damaged and repaired, although without any infill. There are numerous chips.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Noel, Tommye Wright, Sena Mounts Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1949, 1968, 2008 Title A name given to the resource Mural of the geography and history of Denton County Description An account of the resource There is a long story about how this map came to be. In 1936, Sena Mounts Wright drew this map based on drawings by a local surveyor, In celebration of the new Denton City-County Public Library, a mural was commissioned by the Parent-Teacher Association for the library's opening in 1949. The mural was painted directly onto the wall behind the front desk by Mrs. Irene Grady. She added a border to each side of the map depicting the old cattle brands of Denton County. The library grew, and an expansion was planned in 1968. However, it was deemed too cost-prohibitive to move the mural, so it was torn down. Miss Tommye Noel repainted and framed the mural, giving it to the library and donating it in memory of Otis Fowler, Mrs. Fowler's husband. The painting has lived in various parts of the library, but currently resides over the fireplace.
