Then, throughought the mid 1990s, it appears a concerted effort to replace older signs with modern versions was undertaken. A pretty thorough job was done by Virginia in that endeavor. However, a few signs remain. This page highlights older signs that made it to at least 2005. Two specialized galleries of old signs that are not represented here are <a href="http://www.vahighways.com/cutouts/index.html">cutouts</a> and <a href="http://www.vahighways.com/unisign/unisigns.htm">old unisigns in District 2.</a> <br>So as the photo to the right suggests, let's dial back the clock and get reacquainted with older styles of signage!</font> </TD> <TD> <CENTER><img SRC="vintagegenstore.jpg" width="600"> <br>A restored general store in Natural Bridge Station at the old VA 14-141 junction. <br>Photo by Mapmikey, taken 1/26/07 </CENTER> </td> </TR> </TABLE> <br><hr WIDTH="100%"> <br><b>Last update: 11/11/16</b> - all 4 galleries </font></strong></p> <p><font size=6><center>This gallery is divided into four categories:</font></center> <p> <TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 COLS=4 WIDTH="100%" > <TR> <TD> <br><center><font face="Arial" COLOR="#FFFFFF"><img src="../updated_3.gif" width="51" height="16"></font><b>Route Shields</b></center> <CENTER><a href="shields.htm"> <img border="1" src="36-156junction.jpg" width="300" ></a></CENTER> </TD> <TD> <br><center><font face="Arial" COLOR="#FFFFFF"><img src="../updated_3.gif" width="51" height="16"></font><b>General Signage</b></center> <CENTER><a href="signs.htm"> <img border="1" src="oldcurvesign-616.jpg" width="300" ></a></CENTER> </TD> <TD> <br><center><font face="Arial" COLOR="#FFFFFF"><img src="../updated_3.gif" width="51" height="16"></font><b>Commercial Signage</b></center> <CENTER><a href="gas.htm"> <img border="1" src="oldamerican.jpg" width="300" ></a></CENTER> </TD> <TD> <br><center><font face="Arial" COLOR="#FFFFFF"><img src="../updated_3.gif" width="51" height="16"></font><b>Bonus Out-of-State Signage</b></center> <CENTER><a href="oos.htm"> <img border="1" src="oldwhitesign-old209.jpg" width="300" ></a></CENTER> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </td> <p> </p> <p> </p> <font COLOR="#FFFFFF"> <p align="center"> <img border="0" src="../email-mikey-bl.gif" width="550" height="33"> <p align="center"> <img border="0" src="../email-bl-trans.gif" width="585" height="33"><p align="center"></p> <div align="center"> <center> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" valign="top" style="border-collapse: collapse"> <tr valign="top"> <td class="bluecell"> <div align="center"> <a style="text-decoration: none;
