HO Scale Rusticated Brick Back Alley Garage and Apartment

HO scale model of a 1930's-era garage and apartment that used to stand in an alley in Parkersburg, WV, featuring rusticated concrete block, steel casement windows, and an interesting set of steel stairs.

Rusticated concrete block is concrete block with a decorative outside face cast to resemble rough or worked stone. This style of block appeared in the late 19th century and was used for homes, utility buildings, and commercial buildings. This model is inspired by a building that used to stand in the alley north of 16th Street, between St Mary's Avenue and Lynn Street:
