The mural was painted on the side of a building and based on the painting of the same name by artist Charles Nahl. The mural showed people escaping from the painting and climbing down a ladder to the top of an 18-Hole billboard.

A ladder was balanced on the top edge of an 18-Hole billboard. It leaned against the bottom of the "Sunday Morning In The Mines" painting, where it allowed folks inside the painting to escape.
