The twin "Sun" signs atop the historic Sun Building in Lowell, which had lost their neon brightness due to high maintenance costs, are set to be restored using LED lights. This project is supported by the city's historic board, aiming to preserve the signs as important symbols of the city's heritage. The Sun Building itself is a 10-story structure built in 1914, originally serving as the home of the Lowell Sun newspaper and later transitioning to senior housing. The restoration will enhance the signs' visibility and restore their iconic stature in the city.
The iconic twin "Sun" signs perched on top of the historic Sun Building in Lowell were beginning to lose their neon glow.
It's like our Citgo sign. Everyone kind of equates it.
These signs are iconic, reminiscent of the City Hall clock tower and the gold dome on top of Holy Trinity Church in Lowell.
By the 1960s, the Lowell Sun had moved to a nearby building. The Sun Building continued to be used for rental offices.
