Description
Multiple advertisements, including the Mail Pouch Tobacco ad, can be seen in this well kept wall ad mural on the C.A. house, a former store specializing in musical instruments, located in the historic area of Grafton, West Virginia.
Grafton is the seat (1878) of Taylor county, northern West Virginia, U.S., on the Tygart River, north of Tygart Lake. Settled in 1852 by construction crews of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, it is thought to be named for the “graftin’ on” (junction) point for branch rail lines. It was chartered in 1856.
