And moving to the right we have T. McAvity and Sons.

Does anyone recall when this building was 3 stories tall at one time on the FSM ?
I believe I saw a photo of it when it was 1 story taller on one of the yahoo group sites of FSM pixs or on a visit to the layout many years ago.
Maybe the bottom of the structure is below the scenery line and can be raised up again to the original height of 3 stories ?

Hi Tom,

You are correct. This building was 3 stories in its original location.

Frank,
THANK YOU for finding that photo !

I knew to say it was 3 stories tall at one time. Makes me fell better that being on Medicare, I can still remember things from the past.

..... So now the next question is .....did George chop it, or is it sitting below the foam scenery line to be risen again in the future ?

To those who are just joining in........
Please check reply # 605 and # 600 in this thread to see the before and after photos of what George Sellios did with this structure !

Thanks to all for the input on T. McAVITY - I will add the question of the modifications to my list for George.

At this point it's time to jump across the high line and vist the city of Dovertown - but first it's time to update the index.
