Wanted to share my latest structure. Only 5 more to go for the NMRA AP Structures certificate.

This is a DPM kit building. It was assembled to model a saloon (probably with “upstairs rooms”) that has gone out of business. The building is empty and for rent. The building is closed and blinds drawn everywhere but the front street level windows, allowing interested folks to look in and see the emptiness. One shade (upper right front window) is even drawn crookedly.
