Baker's Drug Store


Recreation project of the Baker-Fletcher pharmacy in Cardinal Ontario.  

This Store was operated by my great Uncle Dave Baker and then by my Uncle Earle.  Have always had fond memories of visiting this store when growing up so thought it would be a great idea to capture those happy thoughts on the 8Paws_RailLine.


The Drug store today in Cardinal Ontario from Google street view.  Love the active rail line for Canada Starch Company right out the side door.


Below, the original store of Baker's Pharmacy, before the name change to Baker-Fletcher.

Shell mostly done from brick sheets and .030 styreene sheet

 

Urban Planning test fit:


Shell complete with roof in place...not sure of the location yet, need a building permit  ??



Painting with signs designed and mounted. It is now positioned on the layout.




Lighting almost done & photo bombed by a giant.





New model photo shopped into the original picture:



Retro effects, now open for business !
