Pelaco Sign

Pelaco Sign

The Pelaco Sign is an heritage-listed neon sign located in the inner Melbourne suburb of Richmond. It was erected in 1939 as an advertisement for local shirt manufacturer Pelaco.

The Pelaco sign is visible in many scenes of the 1987 film "Dogs In Space". High on a building on Richmond Hill, it can be seen from many suburbs away. Although originally being designed as a neon sign, it is no longer lit at night.

The building now houses numerous businesses including radio stations Gold 104 and sister station Mix 101.1
