The building is the same one that houses the Melting Pot restaurant. You will see this mural as you enter the downtown area on Silver Springs Boulevard (Highway 40) heading east.
The mural celebrates a few Ocala icons: Horses, of course; Oak trees; water birds; the downtown gazebo; and Silver Springs Park.

Very cool, usually when I try to take pictures of murals there's something blocking it or I cant fit it in the picture. The palm tree goes well with it too.
Being a graphic designer, I can say that Mural is very nicely done in grayscale! Nice capture! :-)
what a nice mural! I love the graphic quality. I bet it looks neat lit up at night too.
C'est une très belle image ! Elle respire le soleil
j'aime bien les dessins sur le mur, surtout le kiosque
I like the drawings on the wall, especially the kiosk
Ah thanks Jacob, I love American murals! This one in black, grey and white is great!
I like the style of this mural and I am quite happy to know something about these Ocala icons thanks to your posts and photos.
Interesting. Do you know the text on that commemorative plaque in the lower right corner?
Very interesting.
...and adorable friends with a immense heart, full of good feelings and love!

Interesting! Our newly refurbished downtown area is supposed to include a mural depicting our town's history.
@ Buenos Aires - No, I don't know what the plaque says...I remember reading it, but I promptly forgot...the next time I'm down there, I'll try to remember to take another look.
That about says it all. It makes an eye catching history lesson.
I love a mural. Several towns out this way have murals on their buildings in their historic center or Old Town. I like it. MB
What a wonderful way to welcome visitors!
Happy Friday!!!
Nice bold mural. The lack of color adds to the charm.
Well this mural is certainly not the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. I am sure it fosters civic pride, and it came in at budget. I wish there were some descriptions below explaining the history or significance of the items.
Very pretty. Love the brick.
I think murals showcasing what's important to an area are a smart way to welcome visitors into a city or town.
