My Flatiron building gets a name and a purpose

That front gable suggested to me a chapel, reminiscent as it is of many still standing in Cornwall and Wales. So it's now St. Piran's Chapel & Institute. St Piran is the patron saint of Cornish tin miners and many "Cousin Jacks" found their way to the hard rock mines of Colorado when world tin prices collapsed.  Here's the finished article.  The signs took almost as long to make as the rest of the structure.


St Piran's Chapel & Institute
The structure has acquired signage, drainpipe and a chimney.

Roof detail added

An access door and a little clutter. Maybe someone will repair the tarpaper that's come adrift?


Settling in
