"Rainier - The River Town" ...
In the early 1990s a mural called "Rainier - The River Town", was created and painted by Rainier, Oregon students on the western wall of the old Hotel Rainier, located one block downhill from Oregon Highway 30 and Rainier City Hall building. Unfortunately this mural was painted over and replaced in 2009 with a smaller mural depicting the hotel as it appeared in 1953.
