Kentile was on its way up at the time; at its peak, in the 1960s, the company employed more than 400 people, according to the Municipal Art Society of New York.

The old neon sign was nominated to the Census of Places that Matter through the 1996 “History Happened Here” conference. The glowing bulbs have been dark since at least 1992, when Kentile Floors filed for bankruptcy and later went out of business.

Along with the old Eagle Clothing sign that was ripped from the Gowanus skyline in 2013, the Kentile logo was a holdover from the era of Brooklyn industry, inspiring thousands of photos and even a line of T-shirts.

The Kentile Floors signage has been up since 1949. It’s basically part of the Brooklyn skyline and we hate to see it go. One thing for sure is that change is constant, something new will be there soon. We can only hope whatever it is will be much more iconic and symbolic to Brooklyn.
