Murals At MLK Near the Community Health Project

This photo shows, on the left, a sign at the Allen Place Renovation Project, originally the Valhalla Hall.  This photo from 2008 at King Way in Tacoma shows two murals.  Recently the building to the far right of the murals, which is slightly shown with blue and a barber pole, was removed to make way for the Community Health Clinic.  

Tuesday morning I noticed work being done at the edge of the murals building.  Wednesday afternoon I stopped by to find out if the murals were threatened.  I think the murals are interesting.  A person with the workers explained that a wall of bricks from the demolished building had remained against the wall of the murals building, and those bricks were being taken out.  The murals building stays. 

Across the street, at the Allen A.M.E., I noticed balloons and people.   It was the end of the refreshments of the ground breaking for the clinic.  The ground breaking story was in the paper today.
