the Whetstonian?

It looks interesting. Maybe a little junky but it has it's charm.

Took some video that I haven't fully compiled yet, but I'll try and post some stills soon. I'm probably gonna take my tape recorder down there and interview him for an audio story soon too.

Photos?

My friend and I had always wanted to do a casual photo shoot there, so one day she went up to the property owners with a basket of fruit and asked if we could meander around taking photos in exchange; to my surprise they agreed. I'll have to dust off my old external hard drive and post a few pictures.

I've been fascinated by that place for years. The owner has slowly added more and more interesting bric-a-brac. I pass it every day on the way to work. One day, I went in. The couple who own it (the Whetstones) are very friendly and showed me around; however, when I asked if I could photograph anything, Mr. Whetstone said he would prefer that I didn't. I should have taken a basket of fruit like David did!

As someone else has mentioned, the place looked better a couple of years ago, when everything was artistically and tastefully arranged. Now, it's almost too cluttered and less pretty. My understanding is that Mr. Whetstone owns rental properties and also sells insurance.

I posted about this place several years ago and the thread went dead from mystery....see, there was never anyone there.
He must reside there now, or has grown more attached to his "Legacy". Isn't there a huge Whetstone out front?...is this where the name of the building (or His) comes from? an alias or stage name? or just an Ironic antique purchase? see..there is still mystery.
The building on main must have been a drive-through bank, as the teller window is still there.
