Back in 2009, in a time when it wasn't snowing every other day, we asked a wonderful designer, Katherine Gressel, to create a interesting and unique mural to go on the outside of the building. What was created was an colorful design depicting some animals that once lived in (and still live in) the Gowanus Canal. It also shows images relating to Root Hill and the neighborhood we love. It is meant to add to the growing colorful art that comes from Gowanus area. The images of the animals are obvious, but you can also find an image of Helen, the original landlord for the building, as well as an image of Kiso the dog. Please swing over to Katherine Gressel site to see more photos of the mural and the wonderful other work that she has done and continues to do.
