Subject: RE: BS: Town Murals
The former Edison Brothers warehouse in St. Louis, MO (It is now a hotel and condominiums.) is covered with trompe l'oeil painting. These are the only photographs I could find; unfortunately, they are too small to do it justice. This building has NO real 3-dimensional decoration--it is all paint on a flat surface. Most of the "windows" you see are fake, too.

Here's a better photo of another project by the same artist, Richard Haas, in Cincinnati, OH.
