Several art works found on the walls of this ruined heritage house in the now cleared Maxwell Road, George Town. This was one of the locations used for the Different Strokes street art festival too.

Penang Street Art (Okinawan Mythology Murals)
The Okinawan Mythology Murals located at a back alley of Stewart Lane were painted by Japanese artist Takayuki Miyazono. The murals tell the story of a common Okinawan folklore on Kijimuna (キジムナー). Kijimuna are said to be small wood spirits according to Okinawan mythology. They are said to live in trees, commonly on the banyan tree and are often described to look like a child with red hair covering their bodies and large heads.

Penang Street Art (Back in the Old Days)
Yet another wall mural painted by a local artist named Louis Gan. This mural depicts how people living on the second floor in the old days were getting their meal through a basket lifted out from the window of the house. This mural can be found at Kinta Lane, George Town.
