LUFKIN, Texas (KTRE) - There has been a happy discovery in Lufkin this week.

While demolishing the old jailhouse for redevelopment, the contractor found a large mural. The subject of the vintage piece of advertising art was, in true Texas fashion, Dr. Pepper.

The City of Lufkin said that they are already exploring ways to preserve the mural. They said, “while we can’t confirm the outcome, we’re optimistic and grateful for the chance to re-engage with this unique piece of our past.”

They thanked the community for their passion, love for local history, and ongoing support.
