Berwyn Mural Gets Facelift

If you’ve driven down Lancaster Avenue/Route 30 through Berwyn recently, you may have noticed that the mural at the intersection of Waterloo Avenue, near Clay’s Bakery, is looking a bit under the weather.

“Currently, it looks as if the art has been defaced but it is just the stage in the project where the restoration of the wall has been completed but not the restoration of the mural,” Sam Elmen, of Clay’s Bakery told Patch.

“Weather has contributed to some normal deterioration, so Eadeh Enterprises (the folks who first commissioned the mural) is scraping, providing some wall preparation and priming so that area artist/muralist, Kimberly Buckwalter, can do her magic!!,” stacey h ballard wrote in response to a question about the Berwyn mural last week on TE Patch.

“Eadeh Enterprises commissioned the mural to be painted by Karl Yoder in 2005, which he finished exactly four months later,” Emlen said.
