Rising from the ashes,
the “canvas” for the project
was made available after a
2019 fi re gutted the interior
of We Sell Stuff , a thrift store.
Former building owner Henry
Lorenzen jumped through
hoops to have the historic
structure removed from the
Local Landmark Register so
it could be demolished.
That process paved the
way for the purchase of the
building by Old West — with
plans to expand its parking
lot. The space got the atten-
tion of Travel Oregon, which
expressed interest in using an
adjacent wall for its Oregon
Mural Trail project. The tour-
ism campaign assists with
the installation of murals
across the state.

celebration, contact Kristen
