Alhart's Hardware / American Sportsman

This unusual sign once belonged to Alhart's Hardware, located on Culver Road at the corner of Grand Avenue. If you look closely, you can still see the raised lettering advertising "Appliances.” American Sportsman, a gun shop which has since moved to East Rochester, took over a portion of the old Hardware store and top billing on the sign.

Jason says: In the close-up shot, you can see the GE and Maytag symbols at the top of the pole.

UPDATE: According to reader Dave Migliore, the hardware store was named Alharts, not Aberts, as was originally listed on SignWall.com. Dave said he thinks it was owned by the father of local news anchor Don Alhart.
