The 597-meter high Goldin Finance 117 Tower, known as the world's first unfinished building, is pictured in Tianjin, China, on August 28, 2024. The construction of Goldin Finance 117 Building in Xiqing District, Tianjin, begins in September 2008, and on September 8, 2015, Goldin Finance 117 completes the main structure. Goldin Finance 117 becomes an unfinished building, stalled by Goldin's plunging market value and poor sales.

Built by the Dawoodi Bohras, a Shia Muslim trading community from Gujarat. Today more than 100 such buildings exist. All differently colored but in depleted condition. As hardly anybody lives there. Most of the building lie locked. The buildings are laid in rows of narrow, deep structures, about three to four floors high. They have a strong European character with gabled roofs, ornate balconies, pilasters, columns and decorated doors and windows.

Located on the side of 12 Burleigh Street, the mural is just a few seconds walk from the original Young family home at 4 Burleigh Street Burwood. The Young family moved to Burwood in the 1960's from Scotland and attended both Burwood Public Primary School and Ashfield Boys High School.<br />Designed directly in consultation with the Young family, the mural is based on a photo of the band from the 1970's by photographer Phillip Morris in the early days of the band's formation. The blurred background in the design is also in reference to the original facade of 4 Burleigh Street.
