This building is on the site of the old Scholler blacksmith shop — that link leads not only to a couple 2011 views of the façade just replaced, but also to photos of the original building. The remodeling has raised an echo of the old blacksmith shop! Some of the details — the arches over windows and one door, and the decorative patterns in the brick on the left — while not identical to the Scholler building, are reminiscent of it. This new façade could stand on its own merits, but it also pays homage to part of Hobart's history.

I was at Panda today looking at the same building and couldn't remember what had been there...glad it didn't turn into the "chalet look"...T/G you are back!! I was missing my daily A'worth blog fix! Have been cleaning at the museum, so when "cleaning day" comes, all it will need is a hit and a miss! Ha!
Another Panda fan??
I wish I were back for good, but it's turning out to be a huge mess and I don't know when I'll be able to post every day again. :(
