Mural
Bev Ecker has recently completed her historical mural, on the back wall of the Beaverton History Center. This historical mural depicts how Broadway Street, in Old Town Beaverton, looked from 1910 through the 1920s. It shows the M.P. Cady General Merchandise store, the first Bank of Beaverton, Earl E. Fisher's Gazebo Bandstand and the Thrifty Market. The Beaverton History Center, which opened in July 2010, calls the nearly 100-year-old Thrifty Market building its home.
