A plaque at the bank provides information on the various photographs depicted in the mural collage. They include a photo of a Navajo man on horseback taken by Wyatt Davis in 1939, a Harvey Girl visiting with one of the rail workers circa 1910 and a photo of Elberta Everhat Cox who was the head waitress at the La Posada Hotel circa 1931. There is also a panoramic view of Winslow in the 1930s and another photo of 1940s Winslow, as well as the current Standin’ on the Corner Park.
