Ghost Signs World Record

This photo taken by Rick Lee in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA features the most ghost signs I've ever seen on a single wall, a world record perhaps?


I'm now wondering if there are any other contenders out there? The building pictured on page four of Ben Passikoff's book comes close and I think it is most likely that the record holder is in USA, but I could be proved wrong.

Have you seen a wall riddled with brickads? Send them to me and the competition starts here.

  1. This wall might just count as one big sign, though. These are all photography related logos indicating that the building once housed a photography store. If I can remember, I'll try to find a larger version of this photo to send you.

  4. Great wall! We are driving to Boston next week and I'm sure to bring the digital camera. Let me know if there are any sites or coordinates of which you know.

    Best,
