Title
Charles Walter's Blacksmith Shop
Description
Black and white image of a two-story shop with a covered front porch. Half a dozen men and a number of horses and wagons are gathered in front of the building. Two men wear blacksmith's aprons and hold tools in their hands. The rest of the men wear suit jackets and hats. A large sign made up of a down-turned horseshoe and a wagon wheel is set up on the roof of the porch. To the image left of the building a woman sits in a carriage with two small children, identified in museum records as Mrs. Walter and her children. Advertisements for 'plug cut' tobacco and other products are posted on the walls of the building. The loft door is open, showing wagon wheels and seats. The road in front of the building is unpaved and muddy. Charles Walter's blacksmith shop was in Glencoe, which is now part of North Plains, just north of Hillsboro. See WCMpic_014102 for an image of this building in 1987.
