"View of Alpine"
by Moya del Pino 1940

The painting was evidently
done prior to Alpine getting a library, or else reading was once regarded as an
activity that needed to be done away from town. |

| The
post office moved to a new location in September of 2000. County offices now occupy
the former building. The mural has remained in place, although viewing is not
as easy as it once was. |

The
hand painted sign on the Crystal Bar caught our attention for it's matter-of-fact
artistry. The artist was Style Read. Looking to the right of the Crystal Bar's
entrance will give the viewer a look at exactly the same type of landscape that
is in the painting.
