I found this building with what I call "forgotten type". You can't really read what it says. You can barely make out the word "Independent". I find it interesting that type can leave a lasting impression even when it is forgotten about when it was new, the typeface seems to have been bold san serif and probably would have been very clear to read form a distance. Now that the typeface is half gone, It is hard to tell whether it was painted on or was some sort of raised type. But now it is boring. It has lost it's meaning and seems dead. It looks like lettering from an old tombstone
