Scope and Content

A passerby may dismiss this small outbuilding as a tin smith's shop yet a closer look may make one stop and pause. Intricate iron work surrounds the building's exterior as well as the lawn. Every shape imaginable is present, from an old iron stoke to iron tool parts, all waiting to be taken into the shop to be crafted into intricate iron art work by the artist Philip Simons. File contains FOHG house history (undated, author MDS); brief narrative history; information about Philip Simmons and his induction into the SC Hall of Fame. No image on file.
