I really need to remember to post here at MRH as well as on my separate blog.... Ah well - I'll try to be a bit more regular.

This building was originally part of the Davetown Toothpick Factory. The factory was opened in the early the 19th century and closed in 1968. It was destroyed by fire in 1970. The property and building sat abandoned for decades until Earl and Judy Schmutz purchased the building and surrounding property in 2017.

A number of years ago I saw this image in an older magazine, and it so inspired me that I knew I had to make all efforts to include something like this on my new layout

This was my initial efforts to put that scene on my plan.
