Squint Shot 031810

The last few days the squint shots have shown the outside and second floor portion of the east side of Fowlerville Hardware. This building has always been some form of hardware store, as known from information given by Doug Burnie. Today's shot, though, heads to the second floor of the west side of the hardware store. When this building was added on, it was for farming implements and carriage repairs in the early 1900s. By about 1950, the first floor had been converted into the Orr Theater. The upstairs, though, remains as it was built long ago. This particular squint shot had me curious. It looks like there was access to an attic area but the beams make it look inaccessible. As much as I wanted to, I didn't dare climb the ladder!
