Squint Shot 062010

If you check back to yesterday's squint shot, there were two pictures of the supports in the basement of the former location of The Decorating Center, soon to be Maria's School of Dance. Well, still in the basement, and still wandering around. And this is what I came upon. This small doorway, about 12 inches x 12 inches opens . . .. . . for us to find this . . . The building is no longer warmed with coal, but it is curious there is still some residual left. I did a "google" search on the Marshall Furnace Company but did not have any success finding information. About the only item I found was a reference to a company by that name, located in Battle Creek, from 1872 until 1900.
