Yes. I had looked at that via Google and thought it looked likely......108 years later open for business. There is something reassuring of that being so....

It's hard for me to read but that looks like the sign for Sterling Gasoline on the service station.

You know, I think you have something, there. I don't recall ever seeing a single photo from that circa wherein a child is actually smiling or laughing.

I think that's true for most people in photos from that period.
My grandmother had a photo made in front of the church she attended with many of the adult members in the photo, several hundred.
Not a smile in the bunch. There was a separate photo for the children and they were smiling. This was early 1950s. Times changed.

In particular the one to the left; I suspect that the dog's day were numbered and that the photographer interrupted something heinous, :roll:

Think maybe 18" or 2' gauge....think Grandt Line sells kits for the trams and used to sell parts for the track, too. Just need to do the scenery thing for a quarry! That'll cost some real estate in the basement....
