Up for a ghost story?
NOOGAtoday | Holbert's ghost sign

Don’t worry, this isn’t an actual scary story, but rather some things we’ve learned about the old painted advertisements — otherwise known as ghost signs — that have been preserved for years on some of Chattanooga’s buildings.

If you haven’t already, check out parts one and two of this series. For part three, we’re taking a look at two other ghost signs you can find downtown.

Holbert’s Overall Factory

The ghost sign visible from West 16th + Cowart Streets marks one of the former locations of Holbert-Langley Manufacturing — this particular location was home to an overalls production site. The factory was named after John Frederick Holbert and was constructed in the early 1900s.

The space is currently unoccupied, but you can catch Courtney Christmas Trees at the lot next door at 1513 Williams St. during the holidays.

Curious about some of Chattanooga’s other ghost signs? Send them our way and we’ll do the digging for you.
 
The Buy
 
Lume Acidified Body Wash, which is supposed to remove odor better than soap thanks to its key ingredient: mandelic acid. Choose from scents like clean tangerine or go unscented for sensitive skin types.
