Mural #3
The Three Million Dollar Harvey House mural was the 3rd in the Main Street Murals series and was painted in 2003 by Kathy Fierro. The image on the front of this card shows the “Casa del Desierto” train depot built in 1911. It was part of Fred Harvey’s famous Harvey Houses that were built along the Santa Fe Rail lines approximately every 100 miles. It was known for good food and clean accommodations. The picture of two “Harvey Girls represents the many young ladies that waited on customers during its heyday. The Harvey House was purchased from the BNSF Railroad by Barstow in 1990 and was subsequently renovated. Today it houses several businesses, two museums, and is available for banquets, meetings and parties.
