Historical Landmark No. 151 is back in place after recent repairs to existing damage. The repairs were done for two reasons according to David Smallwood, City of Fillmore Public Works Supervisor: one, it is a historical landmark, and two, it is part of city council goals for beautification of the city. “To me, it is another small sign (no pun intended) of the recovery of our town from the tough economic times we went through, and the hard work city staff and our citizens did to preserve and restore this great community,” stated Smallwood. In September 1994 the sign was designated a historical landmark by the sitting city council. Councilmembers Don Gunderson, Scott Lee, Mike McMahan, Linda Brewster and Roger Campbell determined at an October 1993 public hearing that the Fillmore sign met the criteria of the county Ordinance code. A Cultural Heritage Board Resolution declaring the sign Ventura County Historical Landmark No. 151 was signed. The sign is a Streamline Modern Architectural-style thin vertical rectangle, rounded at top and bottom with a curved arch extending across the top. There is an arrow that goes through the sign at the bottom which points to the downtown. The name Fillmore is spelled out in neon letters, 12 inches with white neon tubing. It is blue-green in color. The original cost of the sign was $190.
