Hi Friends & Neighbors! Exciting news! We have new street signs going up in Julia-Ann Square Historic District!

The new signs were purchased from Forsite Company and are of vintage style with fluted poles, acorn toppers, fancy bases, and custom sign blades. Parkersburg Public Works Director, Everett Shears, was instrumental in connecting with the city to get the project going.

Additionally, the city is graciously providing all of the manpower needed to install the signs. The project was funded through money raised by the neighborhood, primarily by the annual Christmas Tour of Historic Homes. Finally, join us in thanking Christy & Jeff Little for their coordination spearheading this huge project!
