I had a wonderful time visiting and photographing this one. It was a weekday and I was initially the only visitor so the volunteers had ample time to share their impressive collection in their small museum.
You name escapes me now that it’s 3 months later. But I really enjoyed our conversation and you showing me around. Bonus that we also took a visit to the basement of this old building.
Sort of a behind the scene. I love these old buildings and jump at any chance that someone is able to share it with me.

YOU DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE CONSTRUCTION PHOTOS, DAVID. IT APPEARS THAT AN EXTENSION / ADDITION WAS ADDED AT A LATER DATE TO THE FRONT LEFT ELEVATION, AS THE CORNERSTONE IS LOCATED ON THE MAIN LEFT BUILDING ELEVATION, NOT ON THE EXTENSION.
PERHAPS ONE DAY ON YOUR CONSTRUCTION PHOTOS TRAVEL, YOU MAY DISCOVER THE NAME OF THE CONTRACTOR INVOLVED TOWARDS THE DATE OF CONSTRUCTION ON THE CORNERSTONE.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK DAVE,
ROB
Thanks Mr. Miss
This was a wonderful trip and visit. I had an amazing personal tour of the entir building, including the basement of this historic building.
As I was on a family vacation and the wife and kid were in the car I felt guilty taking so much time here.
I’m anxious to revisit when I have more time. This is definitely one for the record books.
Take care
David
