The exterior work was completed last year, with the re-shingling of the roof, which took 3 years. I haven't been inside since I posted the photos showing all the scaffolding. As soon as I am, I'll post some photos of the restored interior.

That's great detail Scifan. It's testament to a good eye and a steady hand.

That's a good camera sci. I believe it has a Leica lens, hence your sharp pictures.

I would have thought it would have been one of the more "bulkier" cameras they have out! It's pretty amazing how those point and shoots take great pics! The detail is wonderful!

And it was free with credit card reward points.

BTW, I have several bulky type film cameras, with all the accessories. I really should get a negative scanner so I can post high quality copies.

It's too bad no one wants to spend just a little more nowadays and put up a building with class or soul like this

It would, unfortunately, cost double or triple the cost of a modern design of the same size.

I'm not sure, to me I like the shape a bit, but the color stands out

Edit: the blue bank behind the near wall

Here are some updated photos of the construction of the new neighborhood grocery store. The tented scaffolding came down today.
