Local residents may know the building, located at 11171 Route 9 in Champlain, as the former Falcon Drug Store, which closed around 60-70 years ago but was built in the 1800s. It is now the home of the Red Canoe Coffee and Book Store. The mural will be installed on the East facing wall, directly across from the Clarke C. Herdic Recreational Playground.
