Artist Luke Taft is currently restoring the Georgia Southern mural. It is being repainted on panels and will be installed shortly.
Local artist Luke Taft has completed work on his sixth mural in downtown Palatka. His mural, which depicts the Putnam House Hotel, replaced the old Putnam House Hotel mural that fell off its perch.
The Wild West Comes to Palatka is about Annie Oakley's visit.
The Georgia Southern and Florida Railroad is about the railroad's importance to tourism and commerce.
At one time, the Putnam House Hotel was the largest of our many hotels in Palatka. This mural is painted on the site of the original structure. The first Putnam House Hotel, which was built on this same location, burned to the ground in the huge fire of 1884, which consumed all of downtown Palatka. It was replaced by this elegant building, which eventually covered the entire city block. This beauty also burned to the ground a few years later.
