This is one of the murals painted on on a concrete railroad retaining wall in the Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago that showcases local Chicago icons.
I had never heard of HH Holmes before I read Erik Larson 's book 'The Devil in the White City.'
The book is a true tale of the architect who designed the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago and the serial killer who used the spectacle of the fair to lure his victims to their deathsl. HH Holmes was the alias used by the con artist and bigamist who was one of America's first serial killers. It is not known how many people he actually tortured and killed, but estimates are between 20 and 200. He was eventually apprehended and hanged.
Martin Scorsese’s TV adaptation of The Devil in the White City, with Leonardo DiCaprio aired on Hulu.
Another mural portrays DJ King Marie, who besides being a DJ is also a model and is active in the Filipino American community around Chicago.
"All I know is that I want to make people dance and vibe. - DJ King Marie
Muddy Waters- Known as the father of modern Chicago blues.
