GE Factory Sign Removal #2 - a photo on Flickriver

            A worker climbs on the steel frame that once supported the sign on top of the former General Electric factory in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The sign had been removed a few weeks earlier, and they were dismantling the framework that held it.

For a century, General Electric operated a sprawling factory complex on Broadway, south of downtown. The factory had a huge sign with the the company's name and logo spelled out in lights mounted on the roof of one of the buildings on the east side of Broadway.

The iconic GE sign remained lit long after the company had closed the factories, but it was finally dismantled on March 29, 2016. According to a local TV news report, the company took the sign down because people had been sneaking into the building and vandalizing the sign.
