After years of weather and wear along Philadelphia’s Spring Garden Street, it was time to restore the iconic “GUILD HOUSE” sign on Robert Venturi’s historic 1964 building.
VSBA collaborated with Vitam Signs to renovate the main sign above the entry as well as the balcony guards.
We created full size templates to replicate the existing artwork then painstakingly matched colors to the original paint. The original bent metal guards were demounted, sandblasted to remove rust, refinished with high quality automotive paint, then reinstalled.
We expect the refurbished sign and guards should last decades before needing another refresh.
