A long-running masonry store in Bladensburg added a third mural, adding an artsy touch to an industrial area of the Route 1 corridor.

Located at the Ernest Maier masonry supply store at 4700 Annapolis Rd., the mural depicts paving stones and retaining walls in geometric patterns and bright colors.

Artist Cindy Fletcher Holden, who currently lives in Annapolis, told the Hyattsville Wire that her goal was to depict the bricks and stones that Ernest Maier sells in a “twisty and fun” way.

“It is about finding life and fun in what is otherwise an everyday object,” she said.

Holden previously painted a mural in the same area showing the town name and a sunset over the nearby Anacostia River and another showing scenes from Bladensburg’s history and everyday life.
