Greetings, I just finished GN 3592. This is an old McKean kit. The roof was replaced with a shortened Branchline 50’ overhanging diagonal panel roof and the side sills were modified to match

I lived about six blocks from there in the mid-1980s. Fingerle Lumber was my supplier when I was making food, book and hobby money building lofts for the students living in the dorms those

Wow, what great photos ! I lived just 1/4 mile away and I never knew about this place. As a student I guess I was preoccupied with other things... :-) On
