The CataDSC_0005DSC_0008Train Store Windowslpa Glen Train Store.  This is a cardstock (matte photo paper) building on a balsa wood frame.  It's a 1910 - 1930 commercial building with upstairs offices (doctors, lawyers, etc.) that had its first floor facade modernized in the 1950s.  Buildings like this were - and are - common in Chicago area commercial strips.  The building has a decorative cornice of two pieces of cardstock laminated with double sided tape.  The top cornice was given some thickness with balsa framing and cardstock overlays.
