So over the last few days we have been doing some serious cleaning around my shop.The building has been in the family for many years,and nobody ever put any thought into it's age,or history. I am somewhat of a treasure hunter when it comes to old house places,houses,buildings.Now my shop is actually 2 side by side buildings.One is about 30'ish feet wide,and about 60 foot long,while the other is about 15 foot wide,and also about 60 foot long.I was up in the rafters of the smaller side and found a bunch of paper work and tossed it down to my wife.Upon looking at the papers we found out that from the early 30's to the mid/late 50's it was the town grocery,and feed store.We found old stocking receipts,as well as really old made out checks ! I am going to see what else I can find out about the old building over the next few days by going to the library and talking to the older folks around town.You can see some old writing on the side,and the front of the building but it never made any sense until we saw the paperwork then with that we were able to make out what the words said on the buildings.
Here are a few pics for those who care !
