Mary Carter building part of Cullman mural project

The Mary Carter building in downtown Cullman was originally home to the German Bank. Scaffolding has gone up as part of the historic murals project, and Mary Carter owner Raymond Young reports that he believes the artist will be painting signage from the old German Bank onto the building.

A picture of the German Bank is also part of artist Jack Tupper's mural across the street from First Baptist Church.

The Cullman County Historical Society is seeking to document information about the "Sign," which allegedly hung in Cullman at one time and which has negatively impacted our image for decades, most recently in a New York Times Magazine article.

If you have knowledge of this sign, where it was, what it said, how long it hung, and expecially if you pesonally saw it, please send a letter to the society at P.O. Box 804, Cullman, AL 35066.

You do not have to give your name or identify yourself unless you would like to further discuss your information with a member of the society. This will be used for historical purposes only and is a major issue of Cullman County's history. We welcome all input.
