This three-dimensional Victorian
house sign for the United Pentecostal Church of Van Buren, Arkansas, was
originally a sign that stood in front of a hardware / lumber store in
Van Buren. I'm not sure, but I think it was made by an employee or
employees to show off all the different construction items available in
the store. It certainly shows off the builder's skill!
When the owner of the business acquired a franchise from Ace Hardware,
this sign was taken down, and a large, bright, new, flashy Ace Hardware
sign was put up in its place. Somehow, this fabulous Victorian house
ended up at the Van Buren United Pentecostal Church.
At night when it is lit up from the inside of the sign, the stained
glass windows glow. There is an electrical clock on the sign, which used
to work, but it no longer does, and some of the numbers on the clock
have fallen off.
Sadly, this beautiful sign has suffered from vandalism, and some of the
stained glass windows have been broken out. |
