Capitol Hill Walking Tour: Murals

The Capitol Hill Restoration Society is offering a new walking tour, this time featuring murals around the Hill. A description from their website:

“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.”

Although it wasn't planned, all the images in this gallery were taken with my iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Very cool and colorful set of images, Helen. This kind of thing is getting more popular evidently. We just had an event here in September which has happened for a number of years where people go and watch the artists paint these. I finally went this year and will have images of it coming up. Again - great work here on your part. ~BV~
