The Franklin & South Manchester Railroad - it's all about the details!

Above Dovertown Station there are a number of large structures. Some of them have names and some do not.

Moving from left to right here are the ones with visible names.


Directly behind the station is Winkie & Basil Cigars

And to the right the large pink colored structure is Frank & Stein Cosmetics

And even farther to the right is the daTara Hotel named after George's daughter.

At the same level as Dovertown Station is Boss Hardware.

And in front of Boss Hardware we have this unique structure.  I will ask George if it has a name.


Notes added 12/11/15:  I asked George about this structure and he told me that he didn't build it but acquired it in a trade.  It does not have a name but he did remember that it was built by the late Dave Newcomb. Since we need a name for the index I will call it the Dave Newcomb building.

Ha!  Frank & Stein cosmetics!  I can't believe I've never noticed that before.  Lovely pun!

Cheers, Mark.

Mark - Great place for you to pop in with a post right between some of your great photographs.  Thanks for sharing them with us - I think they are real helping the thread.

Zooming back out again we can see Joe's Bar & Grill.

Next to the highland is Blair, Campbell & McLean Inc. This is the structure that George designed for the spot with corners that are not at right angles.

I decided not to wait for Tuesday this week to add another structure to the thread.  I have to work on a contract job a couple of days next week and wouldn't get back here until later in the week. So this week I picked the Blair, Campbell & McLean, Inc. Building - the sign says "Complete Chemical and Refining Equipment". This is a unique building in that it has a trapezoidal foot print - the wall are not at 90 degrees. George designed it for the spot and the wall is parallel to the track.  Here are three different pictures of the building from different angles.

This is the original post on Blair, Campbell, & McLean Inc. which was covered early in this thread but repeated here for completeness.
