Lauer Floral Co. [gone]
Tell City, IN
Lauer Floral Co. opened in 1932. This photo is from 2010. The sign was still there in 2012 but gone by 2013.

Woodridge Motel [gone]
Terre Haute, IN		 Saratoga Restaurant
Terre Haute, IN
The Woodridge Motel has been around since at least the 1950s. This photo is from 2009. The sign was still there in 2013. By 2015, it had been replaced with a plastic box sign.

The Saratoga Restaurant opened in 1942. For more, see this website. [map]

More Terre Haute:
Clabber Girl

Compton's Hardware [gone]
Tipton, IN
Compton's Hardware featured two great Dutch Boy signs. Both of these signs were mass-produced. By 2018, the store and signs were gone. There are still a handful of these signs like the one on the right still on display around the country.

Big Wheel
Restaurant [gone]
Valparaiso, IN		 Moon-Lite Motel
Versailles, IN		 Masonic Lodge [gone]
Wabash, IN
The Big Wheel Restaurant opened in 1963 and closed in 2006. This photo is from 2006. By 2007, the restaurant and sign were gone. For more, see this website.

The Moon-Lite Motel sign is probably from the 1950s or 1960s. For more, see this website. [map]

This Masonic Lodge sign might have read "Masonic Temple" originally. The "Lodge" piece looked like it was tacked on later. By 2025, this sign had been replaced with a modern plastic sign.

Vincennes:
Creole Lanes [gone]

More Wabash:
13-24 Drive-in
F.A. Guynn Shoes

Marsh
Foodliner [gone]
Warsaw, IN		 Wishing Well Motel
Whiteland, IN
This Marsh Foodliner sign is from the 1950s. Marsh Supermarkets moved the sign to this new location when it opened around 1992. The chain built other signs like this but I believe this is the only one left. In 2017, this location closed. The sign was moved to the Yorktown Historical Alliance in Yorktown, IN where it will be displayed. For more, see this website.

The Wishing Well Motel sign is probably from the 1950s. For more, see this website. [map]

More Warsaw:
Penguin Point

Washington:
American Legion

Whitestown:
Wrecks Inc.

Our Pizza House
Winchester, IN		 Ohio Valley Gas Corporation
Winchester, IN
Our Pizza House opened in 1960 and this sign is probably from then. [map]

The Ohio Valley Gas Corporation was founded in 1943 in Tell City, IN. It expanded to Winchester around 1947. This tile facade might be from the 1950s or 1960s. [map]

Buster Brown Shoes
Yorktown, IN
This Buster Brown Shoes sign is part of a private collection displayed in front of a residence. I don't know where it came from. I believe the top reads "Shu Stop." This sign has been at this location since at least 2013. The paint on the bottom of the panel read "X-Ray Fitting" but that was probably not the original text. [map]

More Indiana:
Pizza King (various cities)
Rexall Drug Stores (various cities)
