by John Margolies

Dive into Mid-Century Americana with this fantastic architectural photograph of the famous Leon’s Drive-In sign taken by the legendary photographer John Margolies. Leon's, opened in 1942, has been an endearing landmark and a roadside attraction located in the busy intersection of South 27th Street and West Oklahoma Avenue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

This fine art print showcases the awe-inspiring retro neon marquee and beautiful Googie architectural style which helped to make Leon’s known as the “Home of the World’s Finest Frozen Custard.” John Margolies is well known as an acclaimed photographer for his unique documentation of the disappearing vernacular architecture of America throughout the 20th century.

Great art print for those who collect Milwaukee history and roadside Americana art, retro neon signs and fans of the John Margolies’ architectural archives.
