This mural has fascinated me ever since I first noticed it. It is painted on the side
of a building. According to the Charleston Convention & Visitors Bureau, this building
located at One Bridge Place in Charleston, WV, was Built in 1890 for a wholesale
grocery company and recently renovated as an office building. Especially noteworthy
is the environmental mural on the side of the building facing the Southside Bridge. This
mural, incorporating the actual windows in the building, was conceived and painted by Bart
Davies, a Fine Arts graduate of Penn State. It took two years to complete.
Is this mural unique, or are there others around the world? This cache is not the same
as Murals Across
America or Murals
Around the World. Specifically, this mural must make the wall it is painted on look like
another structure. For instance, the example used in Murals Across America
has a building in the background, but it is not pretending to be the building itself, so
it could not be counted as a find for this cache.
To properly claim this cache as a find, you must post a photo of yourself and your GPS,
with a mural that makes the building look like it is a different structure. Post the
coordinates and city where it can be seen in person. If you have any information about the
mural, please include that in your description.
Please apply the usual locationless cache rules - one find per cacher,
each find can be logged only once, and the mural can not be logged as a find for another cache.
