Exit After Seeing the Large Mural

After seeing the large wall mural, pass through the building to your right. There are many infected inside, so use Stealth to defeat them. You can still proceed without eliminating all of the enemies.

Enter the Shop Across the Antique Shop

Since the antique shop's entrance beyond the fence is inaccessible, enter the building across from it and climb the stairs on the right side.
