Sign - date of installation: Record shows this has been up since at least 2011 though that record even shows aging on the sign.

Sign - artistic significance: These linear geometric shapes showcased on the sign present mid-century modern design aspects.
Survey - research locations: Asessor's page, google maps satelite and road view

Survey - other remarks: The condition of the sign looks as though it could have been from around 1961 when the building was constructed especially with the mid- century modern design, but there is no confirmation or evidence to show when it was made.
