The Center for Architecture and Design is pleased to present works by lifelong Baltimorean Lashelle Bynum in a new photography exhibitGhost Signs: I Fade, Therefore I Am. Have you ever noticed the fading signs painted on the sides of homes and businesses all around Baltimore and wondered what they used to say or why they were on a certain building? They are called ghost signs and Lashelle Bynum has been meticulously researching and documenting them over the last few decades. She has photographed over 200 ghost signs in Baltimore to date.
