The murals were painted on the back side of a tall brick building. They added color and lightness to an otherwise drab brick wall.

The right grouping of four designs faced rainbow strips on the facing wall. This right grouping appeared to be unique, yet each held similar designs and colors to their neighbors.

An emergency exit was part of the wall below the murals. The alley below had automobile parking, and at least one car was parked.
