Don't see many streets like that anymore.
Many small towns in the South have railroads that have the railroad along one side of the street and a few will have roads on both sides but they actually do not split a street.The streets will be two different two-way streets.

I know when I dropped my daughter off at college that they did not have rooms like this in the building, :wink:

Same buildings with one having the wrap around porch added? Nice detail in those windows.

Rufus,
When I passed through Fayetteville on my way to Chambersburg, I noticed that the wooden vinegar tank car is now a tankless tank car.

Indeed. I saw it yesterday on my way home from my place in PA where I was happily able to confirm the re-establishment of indoor plumbing!

That's a new one for me.

Maybe a little more explanation from me.
I have seen some old toll collecting buildings
but I think this may be the first I have seen
that extends across the road.
Another interesting one to model.
