About this Tour Stop...

These murals on the back of the Hansborough Community Center were painted by a variety of the people. The smaller murals on the left were done by groups of kids. The larger, unfinished mural to the right has been in-progress for nearly a decade. A hospital worker and talented artist paints it in his spare time, using donated scaffolding when he can to paint to higher reaches of the wall. Many famous Harlem notables can be spotted in his mural.
