History:

The miners supply store sold everything the prospecting miner would need and use for his mine from picks, pans, and candle holders, to dynamite and drills.

Design:

This model was initially designed based on a prototype pair of stores on display in South Park City in Fairplay, Colorado. 

However, this kit deviates slightly from the prototype, with modified walls, porches, and exterior materials.  These changes were made to enhance the architectural character of the building for modeling purposes, making it more interesting from all sides and allowing more building options.

Further information:

The original drawings for the structure can be found in Joe Crea and Elwood Bell’s book, Structures of the Early West.

We thank Joe Crea for giving us permission to use his drawings to recreate this structure in model form.
