The building is further protected by a hoarding which has a mural, designed by local artist Donna Berry and executed by the children of King David School, depicting scenes of the life of Liverpool's Jewish community.

In 1907 it was purchased by Percy Galkoff, a Jewish emigré from Poland, who had it reconstructed as a kosher butcher's shop.

In 1933 he added the tiled shop front which is a feature of the building The business was run by him and his family until 1979, when it was sold to Liverpool City Council.

The building changed hands several times, becoming derelict despite remedial work, and afflicted throughout by planning blight.

The mural, the product of the Galkoff's Centenary Art Project, was designed by local artist Donna Berry in collaboration with the pupils of King David school.
