Chinese Dragon Mural
Artist: Hedy Melvin
Date painted: 1985
Painted on the brick wall of Thomas and Teresa Lee's former restaurant,
the Royal Inn.
Hedy Melvin (a friend of Mrs. Lee's and not Chinese herself)
painted the mural in 1985 at the request of the Lees,
who wanted to enhance the neighborhood and their
building.
This mural is less visible than it used to be,
due to an awning on the wall which covers part of it.
