Weathered Ice House
I've always found these brick ghost signs fascinating. It's from another era of graphic design when everything was hand-painted and downtown buildings were adorned in bold, colorful murals. This 1903 building was once the Port Huron Artificial Ice Company, producing the frozen stuff for use in household ice boxes. Lake Huron and by extension, the St. Clair River, provided plenty of ice to keep perishables preserved through Michigan's hot summers.
