An information sign at the site reads:
The Red Barn began its existence in the late 1950s as an antique store at 1317 Tropicana Avenue. In the early 1960s, new owners converted it into a bar that became popular due to its proximity to the new university on Maryland Parkway. By the end of the decade, the bar had become a favorite entertainment spot for Las Vegas' emerging gay community. The Red Barn closed in 1988 and owner Claude Howard donated its classic cocktail glass sign to the Allied Arts Council.
Installed as part of the Neon Museum on November 15, 2000.
Built by Young Electric Sign Company (YESCO).
Owned by the Neon Museum.
The sign, along with Andy Anderson and Wedding Information neon, were removed when Slotzilla Zipline was built. They are now in storage at the Neon Museum.
