In a completely different direction…

Your building reminded me of two examples with a single name, one prototype and one historical model railroad:

  • Prototype, overlooking New York City’s Sunnyside Yard, and
  • Profile model, on Frank Ellison’s Delta Lines.

The name? Sunshine Bakeries. (Sunshine, from the thousand window bakery.)

Chuck (who just dated himself terribly!)

Well some real world names come to mind from here in Springfield, Ohio… Crowell and Collier Publishers, long out of business. or William Bailey and Co., A maker of annealed steel correctional facility door and window fixtures.

Other than that-

I. P. Nightly- a maker of daybeds.

Huo Flun dung- Oriental wallpaper factory

Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe- Attorney’s at law.

Discreet Eructations- a gag factory

Aunt Vickies- adult delights

R. K. Flatter Press and Stamping

its late I need a drink…

Grosse Fleisch Sausage Co. - “Our Wurst is our Best”

Turn you farm into a feed lot, and the building can become the place where they make White Castle frozen hamburgers, or Dinty Moore beef stew, or even Banquet Salisbury Steak TV dinners

Ditch the cows and put in sheep. Make the building a Haggis factory. Half of it could be the Wooley Bully Sweater Company.

If you have room elsewhere for an icing station, then you could have a 2-stop industry with ice-bunker reefers and either produce or some kind of meat product.

What era is this?

Hmm, outside of Charleston along the C&O…

MacCorkle Storage

Captol Manufacturing

Byrd Sausage Company (for like, you know, pork products)

Dunbar Distributing

Goodwin Manufacturing

If it’s set in the modern era, SPACE AVAILABLE FOR LEASE might be the best sign to put on it.

we have a bid co here in Carlisle, PA call The Frog, Switch, & Manufacturing Co. they make, well, frogs, and switches…
