“Tommy Henrich” Mural

Follow the orange arrows on the signs as you walk

This mural, created by Massillon native Scot Phillips of 25th and Lincoln Mural Company, features his halftone style, rendering shades of gray with varying sizes of hand-painted dots. 

Commissioned by the Elum Music Company, which owned this end of the shopping center, the mural depicts one of Massillon’s most famous athletes, New York Yankees first baseman Tommy Henrich, who was known by teammates like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Joe DiMaggio as “Old Reliable.”
