Wells Fargo Historic Springfield Mural Installed



As a part of Wachovia's transition into Wells Fargo, Metro Jacksonville has been assisting the company in developing neighborhood specific historic murals for individual branch locations throughout Jacksonville and the State of Florida.  Here is a sneak peek at the first mural installed in urban Jacksonville at the corner of 6th and Main Streets.

Very Cool!
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

I like it.
Awesome!! Good stuff.

 I hope that its expanded to highlight river access points to our St. Johns River our American Heritage River especially within our Downtown Jacksonville Overlay Zoning District. Imagine Hogans Creek kayak launch and a similar history lesson next to the Jacksonville Historical Society. What a no brainer. Maxwell House Plant (Good to the last drop)

How was it funded? Its Dist.7. Was any lollipop money used? Was Gaffney involved? If yes then congratulations. Legislation can still be introduced and if not then it would go back to the general fund. Its an election cycle and we are going to have access or we are not. Its that simple. Time is running out.

So who's next for seeing Hogans Creek?
Those running in the spring elections go to the front of the line.
Anyone on the Jacksonville Civic Council.

Fantastic.  Can't wait to take pictures of it.

I guess that's one way to make a bank that's new to the area feel more like a hometown bank.  Interesting that they are willing to take the time to get to know the places they are in.

Turned out great! What material is that? Are they window applicants or just hanging down?

They need to flip it to the other side. It would be weird to read everything backwards from outside. The murals are supposed to be supportive of its message 24/7 even people can't get into the bank during the wee hours.

On the other hands, they look great and really resemble the heart and spirit of Springfield!

Hum, does anyone else think it’s weird that the image is shown backwards from the exterior of the building? I love the image....not for sure what the design intent was but i would say this doesn’t add much "curb appeal" shown backwards.

I think they made a boo boo. Because it was said that it would be lit up at night. But if its backwards, what would be the point? LOL
