Mural Gets OK To Stay In Philly Historic District

A six-year battle over the fate of a mural on a 19th-century townhouse in a Philadelphia historic district has been decided in favor of the artist. “The Board of Licenses and Inspection Review took just eight minutes to decide that Dee Chhin’s The Death of Venus could remain on the wall where she painted it.” The mural was commissioned “in part to dissuade graffitists from tagging the building’s north wall.”
