Warehouse Row - Building #1

I did get a small start on the benchwork for the two Warehouse Row modules, but the change in the weather has really kept me out of the shop. That combined with a serious case of food poisoning, which knocked me out for a couple of days, means little to no activity has taken place on the hobby front.

However, I did manage to finish off the working drawings for the Building #1. This one will occupy the far left position on the back of the Cherry Creek module. Since the view point is to the west now I needed something that was on the south side of Cherry Creek. There is not building at this specific location, in fact it should really be under the 14th Street Viaduct, but I'm willing to compromise with reality a bit here. 

Within the immediate are are three candidates; Brecht Chocolate and Candies, Tritch Hardware/WM Volker & Co. and the Davis & Shaw Furniture Warehouse. All were rail served. Since the building is freelanced I just need to pick a name.

Front and south side elevations.

The footprint

Cherry Creek Side and Rear Elevations. While I drew in the freight door you won't be able to see any of this and, in theory, there could be another building right across the alley so no windows needed.
