New Old, Over Old

Last fall, the owner of this building on 8th, between Broadway and Sycamore had this big sign painted. 

 

After some consideration, I opted not to list it as a ghost sign, even though I was secretly happy someone was "following the old ways", and going with paint, instead of plastic.

But, then I looked closer.

 

There was a sign there previously.  Painted by someone named Schoenberger.

 

And thanks again to Visualingual, I think we have a pretty good idea of what M. Schoenberger painted.

 

She found the Schuster, on the south side of the building, which faces a parking garage.
