Ruins--Arizona.DescriptionCasa Grande Prehistoric Ruins is one of fifteen murals painted by Lon Megargee for the Arizona State Capitol from 1913 to 1914. It depicts a coyote and sage in front of the ruins. About 10 years before this painting, a roof had been put over the ruins for protection. Megargee omitted the roof from his final work. The original roof that had covered the ruins in Megargee's time no longer stands; a new metal structure over the ruins was finished in 1936, 23 years after this painting was finished.Date Original1913Date Range1910s (1910-1919)TypeStill ImageOriginal FormatPaintings (visual works)Contributing InstitutionArizona Capitol MuseumCollectionLon Megargee PaintingsRights StatementIn Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/ Copyright and/or publication rights for all images in this collection are retained by this institution.
