John F. Cinchett standing under his last neon sign in Sept of 1995, installed on the front of the First Federal Tower at 200 Madison Street Downtown. (Between Tampa and Franklin St.) Amazingly, this neon is still in place in 2010. The photo on the right was taken from the Lykes Gaslight Square across the street; both photos were taken by John’s son, John V. Cinchett. John F. designed other signs after this one, but not anything that was neon. He died in Feb 1997, 15 months after this sign was installed.
