Camden NJ has a reputation. It isn’t too good. Like most cities there are areas that you may want to avoid.
But it also has a lot of mural art. Many buildings are beautiful canvases. This little building takes it to a new level. It is a mosaic started in 2009 and it is still going, still being created.
Google Street View has a function to show photos it has produced over the years. The earliest Street View of this building is from 2009, when it was a plain white block building.
Between 2009 and 2012 the mosaic began and continued through 2019.
I photographed it in December 2020 and can see that a little more work has been done since 2019. I did not fully appreciate what I was seeing when I snapped my photos and plan to return for some detail photos and learn more about this piece of art. It’s pretty cool.
