1. Tinsmith Shop Marker
The Tinsmith Shop was constructed on site by Village artisans in 1994. Based on a small commercial building which still stands in Merrickville, it features a false front façade, typical of main street shops in the 1860s. The Shop represents a relatively new tinsmithing business, supported by a growing consumer demand for stovepipes and tinware.
L'atelier du ferblantier a été construit sur place par des artisans du Village en 1994. Basé sur un petit édifice commercial qui existe toujours à Merrickville, il met en vedette, à l'avant, une fausse façade qui était typique des magasins de la rue principale dans les années 1860. L'atelier représente une relativement nouvelle entreprise de ferblanterie supportée par une demande croissante des consommateurs pour les tuyaux de poêle et les articles en fer blanc.
