There are other pix at different angles out there - I googled "Machine Shop Doane Valley Lumber Co." and came up with several under google "images."
Truly remarkable eye for detail.

My question would be, how did you know? Was it a guess or is there something in the picture that gives it away? If the latter is true, what was the giveaway.

The one detail that gave it away for me is the lack of chips in the corners and the floor. I like the wood anti fatigue pellet.

It's a very good model, that said the header beam across the opening has no apparent retaining hardware to the vertical members and the swing jib crane, the inverted Y is bolted on the ends but all other joints are baby butt smooth, no apparent welds even though the time period would be totally bolted/rivet or a gas weld. Still a very detailed model.
