paint

 

Kudos to the architect who rehabbed the old paint store for his office and art gallery yet kept the "ghost sign."  Ghost signs are faded, painted signs, at least 50 years old, on an exterior building wall heralding an obsolete product, an outdated trademark or a clue to the history of the building's occupancy.   I especially like the way the motif continued with the "open" sign, although the window says "shut."
