Klein’s Department Store: A Sign Shows as Building Renovated
As the facade to 44 Main Street was removed for renovations yesterday, a sign of Klein’s Department Store could still be seen underneath the debris - literally. Although faded, the unmistakable black lettering and painted font could still be recognized - highlighted in the pink box - by those who walked past. It’s unknown what will happen to the faded paint letters, or what the new building will look like upon completion by Frederick William Hoag architects.
The original Klein’s Department Store sign, which could be seen on Main Street yesterday as construction crews peeled back the facade covering it since 2004.
