Design for Signs Selected
The accompanying artist’s rendering of a sign has been
approved by the Board of Greentown Main Street
Association, Inc. Lamson & Condon, an architecture design
company, supplied the design upon request from Main Street.
The inspiration for the end posts is, the building on the
southeast corner of Main and Howard Streets, formerly the
Hy- Red gas station. That building, owned by Brad Howell,
is on the National Register of Historic Buildings. The center
part of the sign includes a replica of the dolphin design,
representing Greentown Glass. The sign would be over
I
seven feet tall and about twelve feet wide. The plan is for one
sign to be placed at the east edge of Greentown and another
at the west edge, replacing the present signs which were
erected several years ago by the Greentown Lions.
The design will be presented to the Greentown Towk
Council on December 1. If approved by the Council, the
Main Street design committee, chaired by Ben Harris, will
explore materials, construction costs, and locations. They
will also contact the Indiana Department of Transportation
for necessary permits. t
