Cast Iron Street Signs

Fox Point

Designation Year: 2002

The original cast iron signs were first installed in the 1930s following incorporation of the Village of Fox Point in 1926. Black with white lettering, the fox image is displayed overlooking the streets of the village. These signs are excellent examples of the way streetscapes contributed to local identity and how the rising automobile culture influenced urban art.
