The first phase of a new mural has been installed on the trash enclosure at Union Wharf as part of a beautification project by the condo association.

North End artist Nathan Swain was commissioned to design the surrounding wrap and will be painting the 16′ tall x 20′ wide roll down door in the next phase (simulated in the image below).

Plantings are also expected to be added around the base of the enclosure, located off Commercial Street and abutting Lincoln Wharf.
