They were uploaded onto Berkeleyside’s Flickr pool by Wnewton1948.

    Does anyone have a “before” shot of the Willard Middle School mural on Telegraph?

    I remember the mural on the side of the Dutch Boy Paint store (now Au Coquelet) at the corner of Milvia & University. I don’t have a photo of it, unfortunately.

    It would be nice to know which murals no longer exist and perhaps why. Since murals often provoke controversy it would be interesting if those above do not exist because of such.

    Don: if you click through to the photographer’s photo-stream mentioned in the post (http://www.flickr.com/photos/46045635@N03/), you will see which murals are captioned as no longer existing.
