St. Charles Hotel

For the St. Charles Hotel in Millbury, we approached the project in keeping with the historic relevance of the building. Using the modern material of HDU (high-density urethane foam), we created a carved sign decoratively hand lettered and outlined in classic fashion. The detail view shows close-up the depth of the carving.

HDU foam is dense, durable, and waterproof, and is the ideal material for this carved sign which is also double sided. The internal welded framework we built for the sign provides increased structural integrity and solid brackets, which allowed mounting this historically-inspired sign to granite posts to complete the look.
