Local artists Kaliq Crosby and Rose Jaffe recently decorated the walls of a new Pepco substation in Southwest Washington with murals of DC icons Marvin Gaye (seen above), congressional Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton and famous statesman Frederick Douglas along with other beautiful images, some of which I’ll post individually.

It was located in a part of town I didn’t even know existed called Buzzard Point, which is also home to Audi Field (professional soccer), the War College at Fort McNair, a bridge under construction across the Anacostia River and a number of industrial buildings. It was also full of modern residential development, which seems to be expanding everywhere there’s an empty piece of real estate.

Note: The crane in view was working on the construction of a new bridge. The Anacostia River is a block away.

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