Ghost Signs of the Last Outpost

Ghost signs are intriguing remnants of any city's past, and the collection Seattle boasts is awesome. They provide tangible glimpses into another time and allow us to experience the past in the present. I am thoroughly enchanted by these signs, and with the help of local history and architectural resources I am slowly puzzling out some of the many stories associated with these early advertisements. I share what I've learned when possible, and often revisit these posts to include new information.

This isn't technically a ghost sign of the last outpost, but rather a cool find while on a quick weekender in Vancouver. Vancouver seems to have retained very little in the way of ghostie remnants of the late 19th-early 20th centuries, but it did provide my very first Coca-Cola ghost sign!

Portland Building Ads - Portland, Oregon: June 2010

http://pdxbuildingads.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 14, 2010. East Morrison Apartments, 1928. The old Goldstar sign featured last year. Is no more. Its removal revealed another, unreadable, ghost sign underneath. Tuesday, June 1, 2010. Letson Garage, 1927. I discovered a very nice old sign this weekend at 8513 N. Syracuse in St. Johns. It has signs on three sides of the building, all perfectly weathered and readable. Very classy.

Portland Building Ads - Portland, Oregon: March 2011

http://pdxbuildingads.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, March 22, 2011. The "Darby's Reducer" ad at SE 6th and Hawthorne has been covered by a giant plastic banner. It has not been painted or pasted over, but its long term prospects are iffy. See the original sign here. Monday, March 21, 2011. Ruby Mist Update 2. Here's a quick update on the completely covered Ruby Mist sign since we last saw it. Check out the original post here.

Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Gumbo Gifts and Gallery, 1902. What a wonderful old ghost sign on the north wall of Gumbo Gifts and Gallery. I'd sure like to know what it said across the top but the rest is beautifully weathered and readable:. Eye Glasses A Specialty! When you're at N. Mississippi and N. Beech checking this one out, stop in at Amnesia Brewery and hoist a pint on the patio just under the sign. Thursday, February 4, 2010. Northwest Fence and Wire Works Building, 1911.

Portland Building Ads - Portland, Oregon: Portland Ice Cream Co. Update

http://pdxbuildingads.blogspot.com/2013/06/portland-ice-cream-co-update.html

Friday, June 21, 2013. Portland Ice Cream Co. Update. Last year the shop at SE Hawthorne and 42nd Avenue. Began renovations and uncovered some old Portland Ice Cream Co. signs. Shortly after that Ray Taylor sent this image of the original signage from years ago. Oddly, the photo was stuck to the inside of the glass as I took my photo, I completely missed it. Thanks, Ray, for being more observant than I (and sorry for the delay in posting it). Http:/ www.1signfactory.com/buildingsigns.nxg. Portland Ice Cr...

Portland Building Ads - Portland, Oregon: September 2010

http://pdxbuildingads.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 7, 2010. This once-colorful old Mission Orange sign takes some careful sleuthing to find. Tucked under some old cedar trees at the back of an old commercial building at SE 39th and Gladstone, this sign probably once advertised the orange soda at a long-gone grocery store at this location. An almost extinct sign just to the right of this could have been a grocery sign. Thanks again to Jay for telling me about this sign. Thursday, September 2, 2010. Hugo Kern Furniture Refinishing.

Portland Building Ads - Portland, Oregon: April 2012

http://pdxbuildingads.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 8, 2012. 4124 N. Miss Ave Update. The two little hand-painted tin address signs embedded it the retaining wall at 4124 N. Missippi Ave. Were among the most quaint and personal signs we've seen on this blog. Unfortunately they are now gone, haphazardly painted over with a spray can and oak leaf stencil. Sadly, these go into the extinct pile. Saturday, April 7, 2012. Portland Ice Cream Co. Friday, April 6, 2012. Supply Appliances Parts and Service. Thursday, April 5, 2012. I happened across t...

Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Busy Corner Grocery, 1910. The Busy Corner Grocery store has stood at the corner of SE 41st and Raymond for a hundred years. The signs aren't quite that old but they're not newbies either. Stop by and have a look some day; despite the name, the corner isn't so busy any more.

Portland Building Ads - Portland, Oregon: 4124 N. Miss Ave

http://pdxbuildingads.blogspot.com/2010/01/4124-n-miss-ave.html

Tuesday, January 26, 2010. 4124 N. Miss Ave. These are certainly on a scale much smaller than the normal advertising sign, but quaint and endearing enough to warrant inclusion here. These small hand-painted address signs on tin plates have been embedded in this retaining wall for decades. Take a close-up look at (obviously) 4124 N. Mississippi Avenue.

Portland Building Ads - Portland, Oregon: December 2011

http://pdxbuildingads.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Thursday, December 22, 2011. This is a brand new sign but tastefully done in an old fashioned style. It's painted over another oldish sign, that for the " Rose City Classic Car Emp. On NW Thurman between 16th and 17th. That sign goes into the extinct pile but this is a fine example of a new sign done right. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Northwest (west of I-405) (done).
