Description
This Mid Century Modern State Bank of Welston sign located in St. Louis, MO was neon beacon on a tower for over 60 years. Erected in the 1940's, this bank sign was located on a tower that looked like the old RKO Picture Studio logo. Salvaged in 2013 by The St. Louis Building Arts Foundation when the bank was demolished, this rusty old sign now sits at National Building Arts Center in Sauget, Illinois. The entire sign read, "Bank in the Sky" as bank patrons drove up to the roof of the bank for the drive through window.

That's some image Jane. And now it's "grounded."
Jane Linders replied:
Too bad it is sitting on the ground now. The sign was magnificent back in the day.
