Up for sale: This is a unique 19th Century sign I received from a friend. He had it in his house for over 40 years. It came out of the Clairmont Springs Resort(see last picture) in Ashland Alabama. I’m not sure what cemetery it came out of or how long this was hanging in the resort as the resort was built in 1909. The hotel burned down in the 70’s and was known as one of the most haunted places in the south. Around the resort were several springs that were said to have healing elements. There was a train stop there and politicians and actors would stop in and stay the night. It’s also believed that Al Capone stayed there as well as he wrote about staying at a rural East Central Alabama hotel in his letters. The sign is made of iron. With raised letters and measures 4.5′ long and 19 wide. The iron is half an inch in thickness. Heavy and weighs close to 50 lbs. A really rare piece for a collector. Sign was placed over my king size bed to show a visual of the size. See pictures for details on condition and feel free to message me with questions. Check out my other items for sale. I appreciate you taking the time to read this. This item is in the category “Home & Garden\Home Décor\Plaques & Signs”. The seller is “joshchancey” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
