I found this metal plate mounted in a brick memorial behind the Heritage Center parking garage. It serves as a historical marker for the original location of Ward Hall. The building was the first home of Southern Utah State College, before the Old Main building was completed in 1898.
I thought this example worked really well with the kind of historical type around town that I have been documenting. This example however doesn't really have the three-dimensionality that I admired about the previous examples. The gold, serif type seemed to be somehow printed on the plate, rather than engraved.
Anyway I still thought this was a cool example of type that is meant to last carrying on a story or legacy.
