The Millworks mural is located on the Robert's Lumber building
on Smith St. between Washington & Spencer Sts. This mural takes us
back to 1948 when the building was the site of custom woodworking and
sheet metal production.
Primary
artists on this project were: Shelly Smith Steiger & Julie Balogh
Brand. Julie Krovicka painted the image of her father in the left foreground.
Roberts-Judson is one of the oldest businesses in Cuba.
The
Historic Marker on the building reads, in part:
"The Millworks
This mural recreates the look of the 1948 Roberts-Judson Lumber Company
Millworks Building. The saying "measure twice, cut once"
was very much the rule when employee of 54 years Francis Nixon worked
here. The building was the site of custom woodworking and sheet metal
production that created quality products for the community. Roberts-Judson
remains one of the oldest continuing businesses in Cuba
