[QUOTE="bosko69, post: 9815976, member: 16283"]The balcony's a museum piece.The sawhorses in the foreground look like a mason was chiseling cobblestone pavers. If you look at the stone window lintels on the brick building,you can notice how uneven they are compared to todays construction methods. Brick production was mechanized in the 1860's,but some small shops still made slightly uneven hand cast bricks-made it very tough to keep everything in plumb. PS-They couldn't have hung any more knick-knacks on that sign. There's an anchor,anvil,plow,cannon,palm frond,dividers,wheel,sword & God knows what else ![/QUOTE]
