Names on the sign on the front of the building read
A.) SSFiLL, Inc. I can not find anything on the name, but do know an SS FiLL is a U-Bolt used often to hold axles on a wagon body. See Lynn Industries for an example.
MANTEL SHACK This was either a stone of marble works that made mantels for fireplaces?.
C.) Just inside alongside the tractor is a sign : "Old F RRIER" - should be Old Farrier, which is a guy who shoes horses. BUT, Old Ferrier is (Scottish I believe) another name for farmer.
D.) On the east wall, is the word "ANTIQUES" This may also have been an antique shop.
