1980s, Scott Sargent found it in 1993 to still be intact -- but
Beaconized. |

Topeka's
larger than life Trapezoid sign was recycled to
advertise the Liberty Inn during 1993, but retained
the flasher arrow and HoJo's era "Restaurant." |

A newer circa 1970s street level sign was reused by the Restaurant's

Shorn of its Beacon and mostly stripped of its interior, Scott
Sargent found a rement of what had been a middle 1970s era Landmark
Supply Company booth -- with its role intact. |
