About a year and a half ago, Scott Mason took Anna Maria and I to see an abondaoned, but still standing nail factory in Wareham, MA. It consists of several out buildings, one of which is the shingled building above. I was immediately taken by the small structure on it's roof, a belt house. It's a small outcrop of the structure, built to accomodate belts to run machinery as well as access for maintenance and repairs. At some point I would have to use it in an upcoming kit and we were able to incorporate it into our new limited run kit, H.T. Gordon's, it's not a nail factory but a - hey, wait a minute, I'm not telling, I almost slipped there. The top photo is our version of the belt hosue on H.T. Gordon's....
