This mural was on a commercial building in the H Street Corridor. The area used to be not such a desirable place to visit, but it’s been redeveloped over the past 10 years and now has supermarkets, condos, restaurants and retail establishments (although to me, it’s still just H Street). According to the Capitol Hill Restoration Society, it’s not technically part of Capitol Hill, whose northern border is E Street NE, but I guess they made an exception for this walking tour due to its rich collection of murals.

The Capitol Hill Restoration Society is offering a new walking tour, this time featuring murals around the Hill, about which they say:

“Capitol Hill is home to many dazzling (some, quite literally) works of art, painted on the exteriors of homes and businesses. Some murals are well known to the community – but we’ve included them because we love them and the Mural Tour wouldn’t be complete without them. Others may be familiar only to their immediate neighbors. Several of them have been on view for decades but many are more recent, including those that are part of the DC Statehood Murals project. A couple are on the sidewalk. One is not actually a mural at all but it’s art on the exterior of a structure, so no reason not to give it the attention it deserves. … Art is always best appreciated in person; particularly true in this case where the scale and placement of the work made photography a challenge.”

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.
