On the side of Sophia’s Greek Pantry, a wide-spanning 50’x10’ mural stands in recognition of the Greek community that began as one of Lowell’s prominent cultural populations in the early twentieth century. Lowell High School students designed and painted the mural in collaboration with ArtUp Lowell, Project LEARN, and the lead artist educator, Eric Allshouse.
Four Ionic-styled Greek columns divide five unique images: the Parthenon and Medusa, a Greek warrior in a chariot, the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Lowell, two Greek citizens, and a blue-domed building, which is a key feature of Greek architecture.
Location: Sophia’s Greek Pantry North, 479 Market Street
