20 <strong>Derby</strong> <strong>Lighting</strong> & <strong>Signage</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
Architectural Character - Although there is a strong 1950’s mid-century modern aesthetic to several <strong>Derby</strong> buildings, the long history of the district is reflected in the architectural styles<br />
found within the downtown core. From an early wood plank lumberyard, to the modernist retail storefronts, and the more recent ‘Santa Fe’ stucco style facade treatments, <strong>Derby</strong>’s buildings<br />
reflect the prominent architectural trends that span the districts history. From a color perspective, there are many examples of sandstone-esque pink/salmon tones across all the historic eras,<br />
as well as aluminum clad windows, sand-colored brick, and strong angles and colors for facades and signage. Overall, the two strongest architectural themes are mid-century modern and<br />
modern Adobe-esque ‘Santa Fe’ buildings.
