SIGNS

CENTRAL AVENUE, HOT SPRINGS ARKANSAS

 

A collection of signs on the side of a turn-of-the-century commercial building in the Central Avenue Historic District in Hot Springs caught my eye while looking for Vestiges. A Coca-Cola sign is overlain by a 10 cent cigar sign, with an advert for a saloon gracing the upper right hand corner of the building. Huge letters starting with "S E" at the beginning appears between the windows and begs for a complete word that I couldn't decipher even after blowing up the photo. Just below the parapet is the simplest ad; "ROOMS."
