Installation of the Peoples Bank building tile signage is underway as specialists begin securing custom-made panels along the building’s exterior. Using marked measurements, crews drill precise anchor points into the façade before fastening a concealed mounting system designed to support each section.

Each tile assembly has been produced to replicate the original 1920s-era signage, restoring an important historic detail on the building’s façade. The panels are carefully positioned and secured, allowing the individual tile pieces to form a continuous feature. The reinstallation of these tile signs returns a defining visual element to the Peoples Bank building, reinforcing its historic presence along Cleveland Street.
