This broken sign on top of the John Turano & Sons furniture store on Richards & Verona Streets has been part of the Red Hook skyline for over twenty years.

According to the excellent external linkForgotten NY site, when John Turano bought the building in 1978, the sign displayed the name of its previous occupants, paper-goods manufacturer E.J. Trum.
