Leonard Furniture Company

The business is long gone, but the sign painted on this building in Midtown Manhattan remains. I recall seeing many such painted signs in NYC as a boy growing up there in the 1960's. Best seen enlarged.
Great find. Looks nice and vintage over the brick wall.

I really like the composition of the corner shot with impressive contrasts of textures and shades. Well done and a fav.

As Alison said, I call these relics "ghost signs". This one makes me wonder if the windows were added after the signs were painted.

Lovely shot, super bricks. Love these old buildings with signs, they say 'USA' to me!

A real social and economic history shot. I think these sorts of signs should be preserved.
