Mosaic
“A place to belong”
Drive by and see our mosaic sparkling in the sunshine or reflected in car lights at night. When you are traveling East on Franklin Avenue you will see it as soon as you cross the bridge going over Interstate 35. Give yourself a treat and drive by. It's even better to touch it when our gate is open during our weekday hours.Local artist Angela Carlson of Minneapolis designed the mosaic. Angela, assisted by her mother Cindy Carlson and members of the Peace House community, covered the entire west side of the 2-story building with the tiles and mirror pieces in Angela's design. Angela told the community gathered for the dedication that she had been driving by the building, noticed its blank west wall, and wondered if perhaps a mosaic could be constructed on it. Materials for the mosaic were donated by the Minneapolis Glass Company and the Tile Shop. In the center of the Mosaic is a memorial to the founder of Peace House, Sister Rose Tillemans. There are also tiles recognizing members of the Peace House Community, people who perhaps don't often see their names affixed to something as beautiful and as permanent as the Peace House Mosaic.
