From Dave Brigham:
How's that for a welcome sign!
The Winsmith Mill Market in Norwood, Mass., is quite a shopping/business/entertainment complex. Spread across 14 buildings, the market has six vintage shops featuring 150 vendors; tenants including photographers, designers, painters, seamstresses and more; and a live music venue/video recording studio called The Fallout Shelter.
(The entrance to The Fallout Shelter is located just beyond the fire escape.)
Winsmith is located in the former Winslow Brothers and Smith Tannery. The buildlings date to the mid-19th century, and were used to manufacture bomber jackets during World War II, according to the market's web site. Perhaps that history is what inspired the mural shown below.
(Mural by Alvin "Acoma," who can be found at AcomaArt.com.)
Acoma also painted the Uncle Sam mural shown above, as well as the one featured below.
Below, a view of the mill from the pond that's on site.
There's no shortage of cool angles from which to shoot the mill and its details.
(Entrance to Remarkable Estate Cleanouts.)
(Entrance for Hanging Horse Studio, which I believe is out of business.)
(I believe I see the word SALVAGE across these windows.)
(One last mural.)
Make sure to check back in the near future for my write-up about downtown Norwood.
