How to share attachments???
Hello SH3D PPL:

I own a property that is special in my opinion. It is special because it is one of the very earliest automobile service stations ever built in the USA. It is a very humble brick building in a special place called Manistee in the great state of Michigan.

It is situated just a short distance from the Great Lake of Michigan. It was built for the son of a prominent figure in the city by the name of Grant. It is located kitty-corner to a historic property that has been restored with public resources, know as The Ramsdell Theater.

Grant was essentially an Oligharch or Baron of the times, circa late 1800's. He was a pharma pioneer, with some interesting practice of which he gained great wealth.

His son had an interest in the automobile at a very early time in its history. He built this station for his son to give him gainful employment servicing the fueling and lubrication of these new devices.

I wish to reach out to the SH3D community to help me digitize this piece of property.

I have gathered many resources on this subject. I have also hand drawn in SH3D the building and property lines.

I am engaged in a long-term restoration of the building with the goal to repurpose the use of the premise.

I wish to share this project with the SH3D community, as I see this as a fun project for anyone studying the historic landscapes of our planet.

Please advise on how I may post attachments of my work to this forum.

Thank you,
Brian
