From 1958 to 1969, a visit to Walthers' world - headquarters at 1245 North Water Street was a must for train enthusiasts in Milwaukee! Built in 1890, this charming downtown building, now a well - loved eatery, has housed various businesses. The HO Cornerstone kit is super detailed. It comes with a finely detailed brick front, a large bay window, four chimneys, a rear freight door, and colorful printed signs just like the original Walthers ones. Key features include: a three - story brick right - hand corner structure that fits from the 1880s to the present. It's perfect for small - town or big - city business blocks. Combine it with other Cornerstone storefronts to create a whole business district and it works with the Cornerstone Street System (sold separately).

Using this HO Scale Walthers Water Street Building kit is a breeze. First, unpack all the parts carefully. Start by assembling the brick façade, then add the bay window, chimneys, and the rear freight door. Place the colorful printed signs in the appropriate spots. This building fits well in layouts from the 1880s to the present, so you can get creative with how you position it in your small - town or big - city business block. When using it with other Cornerstone storefronts or the Cornerstone Street System, make sure the pieces align properly. As for maintenance, keep it away from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prevent fading of the printed signs and damage to the brick parts. If it gets dusty, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
