Anderson's Blacksmith shop is undergoing extensive renovations. After an archaeological excavation at the site, the new building is taking shape. In these photos, the costumed tradesman is enclosing the roof. As you can see, the building materials and tools are also historically appropriate.
It does look like very serious renovation or total re-make !
ReplyDeleteDear Darryl and Ruth, everything is so authentic and proper in your town! Are these "workers" paid by the municipality or are they volunteers? Have a great day. Greetings, Jo
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful that necessary renovations such as these can be completed thanks to a generous benefactor.
ReplyDeleteThanks for always showing us what's going on around CW, your photographs make me feel as if I'm there.
The blacksmith shop will be a great addition to the city. Wish we could tap into some of that funding for restorations in our little historic village! Jim
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat it would be to watch a blacksmith at his craft.
ReplyDeleteYou can also watch them work on the armory daily...

Building history. Impressed !
ReplyDeletePlease have you all a good Thursday.
This would be fun to watch, as they reconstruct the building using old tools and old techniques. I see that the donor was Forrest Mars, who I think is from the Mars candy family.
