This painting depicts Carl’s Frozen Custard at 2200 Princess Anne Street, one of Fredericksburg’s most recognizable roadside landmarks. Carl’s opened in 1947, and the current streamlined stand dates to 1953; its iconic roofline, giant cone, and “Creme Shakes Sundaes” sign have made it a lasting symbol of mid-century Fredericksburg. Opened by Carl Sponseller, the famous frozen custard stand is still run by the Sponseller family.
