    Campbell Building

    There are several Campbell Buildings in the United States, some quite large. But this tiny office is the only one with its own Wikipedia article. It is even on the National Register of Historic Places, though unfortunately the registration documents have not been digitized yet.

    In the first picture, old Pa Pitt painstakingly removed the utility cables so we could see the building better. After that…forget it.

    In the boom years around the turn of the twentieth century, developers selling off lots would often build a temporary real-estate office on the site of the development. This one was built by Thomas Campbell, and it is the only one Father Pitt knows of that survives to this day, probably because Campbell was a flop as a developer. Since then it has been home to all kinds of small businesses, and currently houses a tattoo artist.
