Modern tech recreates distinctive long-lost signs in Preservation Houston's office building
The Lamar-River Oaks Community Center, Preservation Houston’s home since 2012, has remained surprisingly intact since architect Raymond H. Brogniez designed the building in the late 1940s. However, some original elements have been lost, including interior signage that features an Art Deco-inspired typeface.
