The end of 'Liberty' on 9th and A?

Workers are painting the building on the SW corner of Ninth Street and Avenue A. 

Will they paint around the "Liberty" mural by the UK street artist STIK? (Suuure!)

The mural arrived in September 2013... a gift from the long-closed Dorian Grey Gallery on Ninth Street... the work was to honor the history of Tompkins Square Park. 

Also, what does the paint job mean for Chico's "Tombstone" mural outside Doc Holliday's? It is pretty nicked up... 

Updated: 

The crew packed it up by 4:30 with the north-facing wall left to do... or not to do?
