The folks at the
Clayton Fire
Company gave
Seger a fairly free
hand in deciding
what was to
appear on the
Stairway walls.
Provided with
company source
material, he chose
to present the
images as old
photographs in
sepia tone.
| The Stairway has afforded Seger the opportunity to create a three-sided mural filled with firefighting images from history - Clayton in particular - hence the Legacy Stairway. |
The Stairway is
twenty-five feet high,
twenty-five feet wide
and twelve feet deep.

Eventually, three walls will be
covered with firefighting
images and scenes from
Clayton - some twenty-four in
all. New images will be
posted as they are added to
the Legacy Stairway.

| Something for the kids (and the one in all of us). The company now has its own forever dalmatian at the foot of the stairs. (Hydrant to follow.) |
| Under the stairway, Seger painted the Clayton train station and ninety-seven-year-old watering trough. |
A fire hydrant seems appropriate
for the dalmatian, proximity taken
into account.
