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.
