The Famous Stony Plain Murals

The General Store

The General Store 279

Jacob Miller’s General Store and Post Office was a significant landmark in Stony Plain for many years. Jacob Miller was a prominent businessman, postmaster and the Town’s second mayor (1909-1912). The mural depicts the post office exterior of 1928 with the Miller triplets sitting on the steps, Jacob’s nephew Johnny Miller (postmaster 1927-1964), and his wife Lucille (postmistress 1964-1975). Store employee Louis Kowensky and post office employee Barbara Dreitza who lived upstairs for many years are also depicted. The car belonged to Johnny and was one of Stony Plain’s firsts.
