San Gabriel Historical Walk - MURAL
The tile mural depicted above is located at City Hall. A stylized replica of the first known painting of the Mission, painted in 1832 by German born Naturalist Ferdinand Deppe, the mural was created by local artist George Robles, who also produced the tiles in the historic walk throughout the Mission District.
