Good evening all,
I have a question, though not On30 related, it does affect my 1900 to 1929 On30 railroad. I know that in this early time frame most houses where not painted other then the front, but what about commercial buildings? I am building a brick front, clapboard side and back walls three stroy hotel. Would the walls on this small hotel have been painted or left to weather out? I have seen pictures of weathered out walls but also painted walls in TODAY'S timeframe of old buildings. So as always any help or opinions would be helpful.
Thanks,
steve
