A few years back I would stop in at the original Museum building/grounds when traveling out East. As the old museum got closer to being taken down I would look up at the handful of remaining white wooden letters about 10 feet up on the front of the building. I really wanted one, but settled on the more reachable brass doorknob & lock assembly from the front entrance. Glad to see your rescued “S” Howard !
