I really like old buildings, and that picture is fantastic. Any idea what year it was taken? I like history of places and peoples. I am also a part of the restoration team that is taking over the complete resto of the train depot in Fernley, Nevada, building built in 1885. We just got done taking two old fire stations apart and moving them to our county museum here last year. We combined them into one building, and it now houses a circa 1920 fire engine, and a 1952 Pontiac ambulance still undergoing resto (I just got done with the chassis, engine, drive train). |

The photo was my first real visit to the "Depot" after buying it "blind" - I love old history and old buildings, especially Ones built with brick as it's basically all we use in England, the sign is from the previous owners that lost it to the bank. The building is still "commercial" and had to be rebuilt to all the current codes  I have no plans to open to the public, just friends and ANYONE interested

My building was built in 1887, the photo appears to be around the 1920's?, shipped over along with my bikes I am proud to now display outside, a Victorian Gas Lamp, made in my home Town of Nottingham in 1885. .

A cast iron London phone booth would look good with your lamp and an old hand pump rail car too  .
