AFG Packing House Part 2

 Above is an enlarged view of the packing house with the annex added to the left. At right (2 o'clock) is the depot.

This view shows the excavating works and the new supports before moving the packing house sideways.

Another old view of the packing house that dates from 1911. The picture was shot from the Mission grounds.

Frontal shot of the packing house. The street in front is Verdugo Street. (All b/w pictures from the San Juan Capistrano Historical Society)

After some trial and error measuring, cutting and fitting, I glued the slanted roof  to the supports

A distinctive addition are the three vents on the roof. I've built them using .040 clapboard siding on the sides and the corrugated siding for the roof.

This view shows the slanted side that will be placed against the backdrop

This completes the old packing house. Now its ready for the paintshop. Before placing it definitively on the layout I will board the platform. A final touch will be the roof sign. I'll describe this in the next post.
The annex building is also in the works. It will not be built from scratch, but cut on my friends laser. More on this also in a next post.
