Quote from: Raymo on Today at 08:24:12 AMMorning.  Just another day here on the Merrimack. I do have a photo though. A run down building in Boston during the depression.

Brick foundation, so probably built after 1840 or so.  Tenements put up around the time of the Civil War?  Could the far right building have been a livery stable?  I really enjoy old photos, looking at details, guessing purpose, construction dates, etc.

Dave, I've been getting them from a Facebook page called Boston Mass. Vintage. It's funny you mention a livery stable, Boston had some that were huge.

Quote from: deemery on September 08, 2026, 10:05:18 AMRaymo, another great picture, keep those coming!  It looks like the building to the left replaced a 3 story frame structure from the late 18th/early 19th century.  But is that an enclosed staircase from the large building down to/through the frame building?  (Look at the top of the frame building and you'll see what I mean.)

I'll try a new glue for attaching clumps to Woodland Scenics armatures.  I'm still looking for an inexpensive but effective way to do this.

update   Amazon says my laser cutter 'is on the truck for delivery'  :-)

I did see that when I was looking at the photo.

Morning.. I'd like to oblige Jaime, but I've kinda gotten use to drinking coffee and watching the world go by long after I use to report to work. Another building from 19th century Boston  with a F&SM feel to it

Good morning all. Weather is supposed to be just south of 80 degrees today. I'll work for a couple hours at the cemetery and then stay home for the rest of the day. Anybody ever by a craftsman kit with Green Stamps?

Good  morning. It's the usual Sunday morning routine here at the Raymond Ranch this morning. Hopefully I'll get back at the bench this afternoon. James, I have plenty of parts if you need them for your Gravely.

Glad to see you back on the Forum Tom. Nothing but the best of thoughts and prayers for your recovery!

Quote from: deemery on September 05, 2026, 09:34:37 AMHey Raymo, any idea where "Bunker Hill Lager" photo was taken?  Looks like that's an overpass over tracks.  Interesting mix of brick and wood structures.  I love the beer motto, too.

dave

It was in Boston.  I'll have to look and see if a street or  neighborhood is listed for the photo

Dave, photo said "Looking north up Washington St. from the Castle St. switch tower, 1904

Morning.  A cool day here in the northeast and I'm just being lazy here this morning. Maybe I'll  go get a six pack of Bunker Hill Lager and enjoy the day. Boston,1904

Good morning. I guess I need to put my white pants in storage for the winter. Photos of a garage in Boston in the 1930's. Kinda has a F&SM feel to it.

Morning  all. I'm glad to see the arresting of Mayors happens in other states, not just Massachusetts. We had one recently in the next big city over allegedly for stealing over a million of covid money. Not the first mayor there to be arrested. A week later a representative  was arrested too. Test run a couple locomotives yesterday just to make sure they were still good at a friends house. He also fixed a broken prime bulb on my weed Wacker while I was there. Off to work for a couple of hours...

Morning. Glad to see another one of the old school forumer's checking in. Like Dave said, it's raining here in the northeast, we need it and it's a welcome relief. It's just like a snow day as a retiree..

Good afternoon. I had a dentist appointment this morning and spent some time at the bench since I got home. I'll head down to the cemetery this afternoon seeing it's supposed to rain this week.

Morning.  I'm going to try and get a couple hours in at the cemetery before  it gets to warm  with the storms later.
