Preserving the Building's History

One of the ideas mentioned often last night is that we should preserve our building's historical value. A couple meeting attendees thought it might even be nice to paint the original text on the front of the building. Can anyone tell me what the rest of the text was? I can't quite tell from this or by examining the photograph on the second floor.

For all you purists - I realize that the typeface is not exactly right. If we wish to pursue this idea further, I'll find the exact face. And I am guessing that the text was black with a white stroke based on two very faded black and white images. the images also suggest that the rest of the building was unpainted concrete - that's why I chose gray for the mock-up.

Thanks, Patti! I updated the rendering. :-)
