Columbus Cafe Mural, 1978

“This mural of San Francisco’s Columbus Cafe in North Beach, painted by Terry Buckendorf.
This mural was restored in 1989, and again in January 2013, due to the mural’s extensive water damage. Although the mural’s image is of a San Francisco location, the placement of several prominent Davis residents, and the historical nature of the mural has made it an endearing and enduring addition to the downtown area.
