It depicts people from different social spheres on the Main Street of Joplin, Missouri at the turn of the century. The painting is 14 feet wide and 5{{frac|1|2}} foot high.[1] It is located at Joplin City Hall (602 S. Main St.)[2] The mural was commissioned for the city's centennial. Benton was chosen because he began his career in the city as a newspaper cartoonist in 1906. Eleven years earlier, he had sworn to never paint another mural, but changed his mind when the city council contacted him. The payment was 60,000 dollars.[1] Benton's work was documented in the film Thomas Hart Benton: The Last Mural by Bob Phillips, a newsman for KODE-TV. The film premiered in connection with the unveiling of the mural in March 1973. The tapes for the film were rediscovered in 2010, and the film was aired on KODE-TV on July 10, 2010.[3][4] In 2005 the painting was relocated from the Joplin government building on Third St. to the new City Hall at 602 Main St.[5] References1. ^1 {{Cite news|last=Moore|first=Thomas|date=1972-07-14|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=G1cEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA73|title=Benton, 83: Never argue with youth|work=Life|p=73|accessdate=2017-03-16}} {{Thomas Hart Benton}}2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.joplinmo.org/175/Public-Art|title=Public Art|work=joplinmo.org|accessdate=2017-03-16}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.joplinglobe.com/news/local_news/benton-film-captures-grand-design/article_c7a692d0-c7ec-5562-a08f-c163fe49aaba.html|title=Benton film captures 'grand design'|work=The Joplin Globe|accessdate=2017-03-16}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.historicjoplin.org/?tag=joplin-at-the-turn-of-the-century|title=Thomas Hart Benton Documentary to Air 7/10/2010 on KODE at 6pm|work=Historic Joplin|accessdate=2017-03-16}} 5. ^{{Cite web|date=2005-03-08|url=http://www.joplinindependent.com/display_article.php/mariwinn1110315215|title=Thomas Hart Benton's final mural gets new home|work=Joplin Independent|accessdate=2017-03-16}} 4 : 1972 murals|Joplin, Missouri|Murals in Missouri|Paintings by Thomas Hart Benton |
