FUN WITH TACOMA HISTORIC PRESERVATION >>>

Tacoma artist Joshua Casey, he of Josh Casey Design - saddened by the destruction of the historic Heidelberg Student Price mural during renovation of a building at the University of Washington Tacoma - recreated a composite of what the mural might have looked when it was first painted in 1934.

With an interest in historic preservation, and a hand-painted sign nearly identical to the mural that he borrowed from a friend in Eatonville, Casey spent 10 to 11 hours recreating the mural with photo imaging software.

Does Casey have another project in mind now that he finished this reproduction?

"Always," he said.
