The sign is for Berry-Burk and Company, a clothing retailer that dates back to the 1879. The Berry-Burk & Company name was born through mergers and buyouts in 1931. The sign sits atop the Berry-Burk store that was known as “The Fashion Center of the South.” The Renaissance Revival style building was built in 1928. In 2006, the building was converted to “luxury” apartments homes. The redevelopment of the building incorporated the Berry-Burk name. The building is located in the Grace Street Commercial Historic District that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. – EC Leatherberry – Flickr Photostream

Dixon Dry Goods – Grants Pass, OR – Sept. 1, 2009

The Dixon Dry Goods Building was constructed following the January 1894 fire that destroyed nearly the entire block.The Dixon Dry Goods business operated in the building until 1911. Since then the building has had a variety of businesses in it. The current business, “Never A Bum Steer” moved to this location in 1994. The building was renovated in 1994 and the Dixon Dry Goods sign on the front of the building was probably redone or added at that time. The signs on the upper west wall are most likely original and very difficult to read. – Waymarking – Volcano Guy
