Historic Neon: Violet Crown (c 1950) and Austin Motel (1938) 21st Century Neon Applicable SOI Standards for Rehabilitation: #3, #9, and #10 The proposed sign: • Is reversible; moves neon to the corner, leaving the historic house untouched • Features neon design that is compatible and appropriate for the era, but with a contemporary and differentiated feel • Marks current use without faking historical context; clear differentiation between a commercial-style sign and original residential building Guidelines for Signs in National Register Historic Districts or at a City Historic Landmark • Neon limitations specify neon on facades; we have addressed this with a freestanding sign • Metal sign with matte finish • Limited colors used in a sign to no more than three (three paint colors, three neon colors) • Avoid lettering which appears too contemporary in the sign; no more than two typefaces are allowed
