{ Gateways along Washington Ave at Sixth & Eighth
Recommendation
• In order to promote and highlight the Haynie’s Corner Art District,
appropriate and interesting gateway and signage features should be
installed along Washington Avenue. The intersection at Eighth and
Washington provides an opportunity for signage on a vacant parcel
at 200 Washington Avenue. The remnant Washington Avenue Temple
tower at Patchwork Central provides the opportunity to more fully
utilize this iconic structure as an “identifier” for the Art District. Appropriate lighting and signage on and near the tower could
create a compelling and recognizable structure.
