Chama oil facility signs -- request
| November 20, 2016 11:07AM |
The Friends signs crew has been asked to recreate historic signage that used to be on the Chama oil-loading facility, and we would like to see historical photos of the facility's north end. This project follows up on work by John Cole's crew to rehab the facility's structure and fittings.
We have a 1938 photo from the Friends' Dorman Collection (attached) but it'd be helpful to see other photos, particularly any color shots and-or any with straight-forward or closer views of the signs.
We already have photos of the south end's signage, which includes a sign that appears to be similar or identical to one of those formerly on the north end.
Our interest includes published photos of the north end's signage, so if you know of any books or other publications with relevant photos, please let us know. You can post a reply here or PM me on this board.
Thanks.
Paul
