I found this on line
"KENTILE FLOORS 2nd Avenue and 9th Street
Kentile was founded by Arthur Kennedy in 1898 and once billed itself as
"America's largest manufacturers of super-resilient floor tile." Kentile
hung in there till just a couple of years ago following a series of
strikes and costly asbestos lawsuits. It's purple neon sign no longer
burns brightly but it reminds folks for miles around that there was once
a Kentile."
I doubt that the sign was up there since 1898.... but I'd guess it was
pre-war -- meaning, for those of us in my generation,
before WWII

I don't know how much the color tone was affected by shooting through
the thick dirty glass
of the train window... I'm reminded now to go check the age of that
sign...
the building at the bottom left is from the 30's or before, I believe

Hi Ann: Fun colors and sign. It's one of those "here I am
shots"--that's the way I see it anyway. Like the golden tones to the
buildings. You've got a pinkyish kind of hazy thing going there at
the horizon too, no? Cool. Cheers, Christine
