Mural Unveiled at GM&O Building

Jan 17th, 2008

A breathtaking mural depicting Mobile’s history was unveiled at the GM&O building today. The mural was painted by University of South Alabama professor Jason Guynes. It wonderfully illustrates downtown Mobile’s changing skyline and the history of various modes of public transportation through the decades. The GM&O building serves as the terminal for the City’s Wave Transit System.

“As Mobile continues to grow, we want to preserve the rich heritage of 300 years of history,” said Mayor Sam Jones. “This tremendous work of art certainly represents not only the things we have been able to accomplish in the past, but also the things we can do in the future.”

A federal grant specifically for public artwork financed the mural, which covers one wall inside the GM&O terminal.
