And physical artifacts weren’t the only antiques discovered at the project site. The clearance work has, however, afforded a unique ghost advertisement for old Katz’s Deli. Much of the lettering is faded, but “Katz’s Fabric” is still legible. It’s missing the word “Wurst,” though, the same language that appears on its Ludlow frontage. This was likely the exterior of the restaurant decades before the now-demolished row of retail was built. – Bowery Boogie – February 19, 2016

The Dauphin Hotel was an establishment located on the west block front of Broadway between 66th Street and 67th Street. In 1958 the ballroom of the hotel was behind Julia Murphy’s Bar. The Dauphin Hotel was demolished as part of the excavation for the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. By 1964, the site was taken by the Empire Mutual Insurance Group building. This edifice also occupied the space where the Marie Antoinette Hotel previously stood. – Wikipedia

Yeilding’s – Your Friendly Department Store – Established 1876 – Birmingham, AL

Figuring out when the Yeilding’s signs appeared on the building’s rear façade is complicated because the expansive brick wall has hosted a series of painted ads. A close inspection reveals traces of the words “Baking,” “Cake” and “Butter” in the beige paint from an early mural. By the late 1910s or early 1920s, they had been covered by a colorful ad for Snowdrift, “the perfect shortening,” that stretched two and a half stories up the wall. – Charles Buchanan, Fading Ads of Birmingham (History Press, 2012)
