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.

xPrimary 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
