t .I recently drove by a guy in the Delta fabricating metal garden
sheds;12x20
that had the upper facade curved and attached like those in the old western
towns;
you know hiding the roof line with a stand up decorative wooden wall
In the movies the saloon was basically a box yet it had this
decorative wooden wall above it
.....for what ?
advertising snake oil and bawdy entertainment ?
however
In the western movies we see no advertisements;
yet were they not really just bill boards; or did the owner really want to pay
out of pocket for architectural decoration to add to the character of his
fledgling cow town
in say Tombstone or Dodge ...need to know xoxPy .
