READING THE SIGN

This is a bit difficult toward the bottom since it is two signs, one painted over the other.

Top line: SALOON

Next: Our New

Next: Special Brew

Next in large letters: Alpen

Next: Brau

Last line: We would use the later last line: D.T. Coyne

The Coyne Tavern opened on Tamm Ave. (building where the Bead Shop is today, next door to Seamus McDaniels) in 1904. This sign, faded and difficult to read is called a "ghost" sign. The Dogtown Historical Society hopes to have the sign restored.
