  • East Wall.  One of six panels depicting the life and landscape of the Panhandle.  This panel depicts cowboys branding a calf within a corral.  Woeltz won a competition entered by 64 artists from the Southwest.  He was selected "for the distinction of the artist's style, for his feeling for light which might be used to advantage in painting Panhandle landscape and for his architectural quality of design".
