Unveiling the Past: The Garden Inn Motel Neon Sign
The Garden Inn Motel, a timeless establishment that once graced the cityscape, had a neon sign that stood as a beacon of hospitality and warmth. Over the years, the elements took their toll, and the sign fell into disrepair. Recognizing the cultural significance of this landmark, Garrett Betts Neon Road took on the challenge of restoring the Garden Inn Motel neon sign to its former glory.
The Restoration Process:
- Historical Research: Our journey began with thorough historical research. Understanding the design, color scheme, and intricate details of the original sign was crucial to ensuring an authentic restoration.
- Structural Assessment: Before we could breathe new life into the neon tubes, we conducted a comprehensive structural assessment. Any damaged components were carefully documented, and a plan for restoration was devised.
- Tube Bending and Neon Filling: The heart of any neon sign lies in its tubes. Our skilled artisans meticulously bent each tube to match the original design. The delicate art of neon filling followed, infusing vibrant colors into the tubes that would soon illuminate the night sky.
- Electrical Upgrades: To meet modern safety standards and ensure longevity, we incorporated state-of-the-art electrical components. This not only enhanced the sign’s functionality but also made it energy-efficient.
