The Farnsworth House located on Farnsworth Avenue in Bordentown (City) NJ.
Attached is a picture of an al fresco mural painted on the side of a restaurant, The Farnsworth House. The current owner had this painted in 1995 to provide coverage for the side of the building, and also as marketing for the restaurant. Bordentown is a very historical city and the owner wanted to mural to reflect this. Peter Beiling, the artist, put this mural together using a rendition of Thomas Farnsworth. Thomas Farnsworth was a Quaker and acquired land in 1682 in Farnsworth Landing. This is now known as Bordentown. Since a picture of Thomas Farnsworth couldn't be found, the artist used what he considered to be Quaker. Rumor has it he may have used the picture from teh Quaker Oats box, but that can't be confirmed. The second picture is just a closer image of the bottom of the mural, featuring the city of Bordentown.
