Couple discovers decades-old artwork during renovation of old building

OKANOGAN (Web Desk) – A couple found a 60-foot old mural from an old property when they started renovating the interior of the building. In a post, Lisa Timm wrote, "My husband and I recently purchased the building and discovered this beautiful hand-painted mural on canvas hidden behind plaster walls, preserved but unseen for over a hundred years." "No one knows for sure when the mural was installed, but preliminary research revealed that the building had been used as a theater during several periods prior to about 1930, and was originally home to the Okanogan Commercial Club, a precursor of the Chamber of Commerce," Timm wrote. "We would love to have this priceless piece of Okanogan County history restored to its former glory so we can display it proudly for generations to come," she wrote.
