Casa de Bernie Sedley revisited

December 28, 2011, we showed a small mural on a big building in Casa de Bernie Sedley. Pima County Public Library's website has a page Casa de Bernie Sedley - Name Origin with a bit of info and a photo of the building. When I was there again on September 17, 2024, a sign at the parking lot says the building houses the City of South Tucson Housing Authority.

That little mural still seems to be missing one tile at the top left corner. Here it is on September 17, 2024:
For some reason, in our 2011 blog post we didn't show the big tile mural in front of the building:
The left and right sides aren't straight. To show that, I've enlarged the ends of the original photos and replaced the background with grey:


There are lots more murals in this visit to Mural Heaven — South Tucson, that is. More next time.

Sorry, I don't know the artist. Carlos Valenzuela did a lot of tile murals in South Tucson; maybe it's him? Someone at the building might still remember. I remember a brass plaque by the building entrance; maybe it tells about the mural.
