How does this letter-form communicate its location?

This place adjoins the Chorley theatre, leading to the backstage door of the theatre for artists while performing. It's called Empire electrical palace. This palace was established back in 1910, and it's still standing. As carving was the earliest way to establish typography, this looks like an ambrose version of brick typography. Even without screaming with colours or big typography, it's very subtle and still draws your attention towards it. If you walked by this building, you wouldn't miss this sign.
