Bayview Building Materials, Elma, Washington
This old time street scene was in the supply yard of Bayview, partially obscured by equipment, and fenced off when I took this photo Aug. 14, 2013. Facing west.
Since that time Bayview has expanded and this mural no longer exists.
Fire Station, Elma, Washington
I believe I took these photos at the Elma Fire Station on Aug. 14, 2013. This is another mural painted on waferboard, which seems to hold up well against the elements and gives the work a rustic texture.
Main intersection, Elma, Washington
This giant two panel mural was displayed on the NW corner of Elma's busiest intersection (it even has a traffic light!) The images faced east. I took this photo on Mar. 25, 2013.
On July 26, 2013, just by chance, I was witness to yet another major Abbott mural being obliterated.
Everybody's, Elma, Washington
This large, impressionistic mural by Abbott is on the south side of Elma's largest supermarket. The weather is really eating away at this one, and it is displayed in an area where the general public does not park. I found it by accident.

El Ranchon, Elma, Washington
This beautiful indoor piece gives us a chance to see Abbott's use of color without the impact of weather. Photo taken Dec. 1, 2011
Another photo, this one from June 18, 2013.
