I read about this mural
online
and found it on the exterior of the Elizabeth Street Garage. It is a
portrait of Lucy Simms, who was born into slavery and became an influential educator. The artist is
Andre Shanks.
I walked around the block and took some more pictures. Here are a few including Glen's Fair Price Store and Kline's Dairy Bar. The possum drawing was a small decoration on a pillar of the garage.
Love that opossum!
