Join the Druids
407-409 Swanston Street, Melbourne, 3000.
The famous (and to some, intriguing) 'Join the Druids' sign was installed in 1934 and sits seven storeys high on the south side of Druid House, the former offices of the Druids Friendly Society. The sign measures 5 metres in length.
The sign sits flat against the side wall of the building, with neon letters inviting us to "JOIN THE DRUIDS".
The sign is no longer in working order. Plans have been mooted for its restoration, but funds have not yet been raised.
