Maya Thomas began her work advocating to preserve the Dox Thrash House, named after the Black painter and draftsman that lived there, five years ago when she was studying historic preservation at the University of Pennsylvania.
Thomas became enamored with the house, and the Black art scene that once thrived there, while she was living nearby and studying the Philadelphia Housing Authority’s renewal plan for the Sharswood area.
With two other grad students, Dana Rice and Chris Mulford, they created the Dox Thrash House Project to raise awareness and funds for saving the house at 2340 Cecil B. Moore Avenue and turning it into a hub for the arts.
