| The Machine Shop-esque building on Bronson near Gladstone (Google Street Views) |
We dropped by the Red Apron last week, and on our way there it finally dawned on me why the Cycle Salvation building seemed so familiar: it looks sort of like the Machine Shop and is about the same size. No, it doesn't have side walls of staggered windows, but it does have a rather nice side corner window that I need to take photos of. So, the Machine Shop, either box-stock or slightly kitbashed, could find a use on a streetcar layout with that bus stop replaced by a suitable car stop.
And if you follow that prototype, you can be sloppy as all get-out and hide the mistakes under ivy covered walls. Even ELM used that method on his brick enginehouse.
ReplyDeleteYes, ivy can cover a multitude of sins :-)
DeleteWell spotted!
ReplyDeleteNeeds a bit of gardening?
I wonder why streetview has it blurred out in the latest view, lots of previous ones - did not require so much gardening in the past!
Just a boring flat roof - no skylights.
Prototype for everything department (well almost).
Now that winter's here, the next time we drive by I should take some photos when there is less foliage.
