The front retail space walls, which were visible to the public, are generally pretty boring.
In the upper floor work room, where the female staff spent most of their days sewing, there are vintage travel posters from all over the world. One imagines that the previous owner, who told us that she hadn't taken a vacation in over 60 years, must have enjoyed these.
There are also ideas, doodles, and calculations written directly on the walls. I guess if paper isn't handy...
On the way downstairs stenciled letters, partially covered, read "FED...ACH CO". Could it be "FEDERAL MACH CO"?
A black arrow points downstairs to more wall surfaces.
Why 5/8ths?
While the women were upstairs sewing, the men were downstairs repairing the furniture. Vintage pin-up images, like Norma Jean, Betty Page and others, cover the back corner walls here.
Im really excited about this you guys! I will be looking for more updates soon. I am dying to see a picture of the building from the outside too. Oh and throw in one or two of yourselves because I MISS you! Love ya Jenny
