A “hat tip” for ForgottenFan Paul Lukas of Uniwatch fame for finding this painted sign at a bar in Gravesend between West 9th and 10th Streets on Kings Highway at about where it interrupts Quentin Road. From the meticulously painted script to the harness racer reliefs under the awning, it’s a formidable bit of design in an age when cheap vinyl signs are taking over.
A block to the east, there’s a group of apartment houses that looks exactly as it did around 1900, when it was first built.
