Old Fishing Store (21310) - Back Entrance

After the excitement of the swinging wall, we continue with the back entrance (actually I think it's going to end up being more of a side entrance) to the store.

I really like the lopsided wooden siding here - it's not because mom was sloppy in attaching them, they are SUPPOSED to be lopsided. Again, this does a really good job of accentuating the overall condition of the building.

In case it wasn't abundantly clear that this was a fishing store, the proprietor has a large fish hanging over the door. And perhaps in a move to appease the occasional tourist who wanders by, the owner also seems to offer boat rentals, as evidenced by the off-kilter sign.


 It would appear that the shop owner had himself a rather successful outing recently, with his catch hanging up and curing in front of the shop. I wonder if he is planning on smoking those later.


This overhead shot gives an excellent view of the layout of the building, with the storefront over to the right and the small office up a narrow flight of stairs to the left. And just to differentiate the 2 areas, you'll notice (if you look really closely) that the color and size of the tiles are different, with the shop tiles being large and dark green and the office tiles being smaller and navy blue
