Transcript

The Great Mural Wall of Topeka is located just west of the Kansas Expocentre at the intersection of 20th and Western. The project was initiated by the Chesney Park Neighborhood Improvement Association. Painting on the mural began in 2006 on the sides of a large white building from 1931 that once housed a 10-million-gallon water reservoir for the city. The colorful mural now stretches across the entire length of an approximately 11-foot tall, 300-foot wall. Scenes depict both Topeka’s history and a look into the future. Space for the mural was donated by the City of Topeka Water Division. The Great Mural Wall of Topeka honors the history, heritage, and people of the city.
