General store work done
The renovation of the old
Cranbrook general store building
is finished. The building which
dated from around 1890 was totally
dilapidated. Water stood in the
basement and the floor had caved
in. The front of the building was
rotting away. It was a matter of
renovation or removal.
Marion Hagedoorn had a dream
to restore it and started the process.
It is in good shape once more and
the porch which was removed in
1982 because it was unsafe has
been restored.
Karel Unger and Axel Van
Wieringen from the Netherlands
who visited the hamlet two years
ago and took an interest in the old
building made the renovations
possible.
