We’re working from the new office this week, and we’re still working on it, too. I have carpeted the studio room, and I can highly recommend carpet tiles. Didn’t even have to glue them down. Here’s a pic.

There’s been a bit of debate about what our building used to be. We know it was Webster’s Auto in the post-WWII years. Before that, though, has been the subject of various opinions. We were originally led to believe it was Keener’s Store. The consensus seems to be that Keener’s is a few buildings down. Welch State Bank is currently remodeling it for use as office and conference space. We have a reprint of 1915 Welch Watchman paper, which includes the below picture of W. S. Dowell Dept. Store. From the looks of the ceiling and shelving, I believe that is our building. It’s not the greatest picture in the world, but it’s all we have so far.

That’s it for now. More updates as we get things situated.
