Red Jacket Mural

[1][2] The mural, which dates back to the late 1800s, is a significant piece of local art history, reflecting the culture and heritage of the Niagara region.

In 1958, under the coordination with the Niagara Falls Historical Society, the mural was rescued from the residence and displayed in various locations in the region.

[1] The painting portrays the Indian chief dressed in full tribal regalia, standing on a slight elevation in the foreground with Niagara Falls as the backdrop.

[5] Saul C. Weinstein, president of the Frontier Salvage Corp., and responsible for the building demolition, along with Anthone Patrone, property owner, encouraged anyone with the means to do so, to rescue the mural.

Mr. Barbezat coordinated with Miss Marjorie Williams, executive vice president of the Niagara Falls Historical Society and city historian to ensure the mural would have a home once rescued.

[8] The completed mural was presented to the Niagara Falls Historical Society which planned to exhibit the painting at hotels and public buildings.
