Water Fountain Postcard from "Postcards in Time" Mural in Punta Gorda

 The first postcard on the "Postcards in Time" mural depicts  the fountain that was located in the center of Marion Avenue.  The mural was orignally created in 2001, destroyed in Hurricane Charley, and later recreated in the same location on the east side of the building at the northern corner of Nesbitt and Taylor (where the Encore Tea Room is located).
