The Watermelon House

Located near Logan Circle, the Watermelon House is a favorite for mural seekers and even has its own Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/watermelonjumps/ Apparently the owners hired someone to paint the side of the house red, but when the result was pinker than anticipated, they turned it into a watermelon.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.
