Summer Hill, street art

This electricity substation is on the corner of Smith Street and Flour Mill Way, in the inner west suburb of Summer Hill. The mural was painted by street artist Scott Marsh in 2016 and depicts the silos of the former flour mill nearby and the urban renewal of the former industrial site.

  1. The interest in external murals is becoming widespread in the Australian and other blogs, but the appearance of silos on your shed is even more fascinating.

  2. What a brilliant way to disguise a substation. The artist has chosen his subject matter well.

  6. In a town near where I live, huge grain elevators are ALSO depicted in a mural. I don't think you can see both at once.

  8. What a brilliant way to revamp a building. It's a shame they never painted the soffat as the paint is crumbling.

  10. The silos fit perfectly into the design of the building. You did an excellent job photographing the corner mural of the building .

  12. I'm with Carol above, also noticed the trim along the roof needs repainting. It looks as if the mural was painted later, or perhaps with paint that withstands the elements better
