Shopping at Smith T Hardware is always like stepping back into the last century. From the nails marking spots on the floor used to measure out chain, to the old BIP Paint sign on the front of the building. Last week, while removing some plaster from a wall, more history uncovered, as what may be one of the oldest Coca Cola Murals in the US was discovered. The story behind the painting is still being discovered, but I thought I’d share the picture in case you haven’t been by to see it for yourself. You can read more about the history of the building on the store website here!
