Challenges

• We were approached in the fall of 2018 with this very unique project. The city of Mount Airy wanted to develop a visitors center for tourists that centered around their historical caboose that was linked to the city for decades. After some brief discussion, it was decided that our Shawnee model shelter would be the perfect match for this project! The massive steel understructure is powder-coated to perfectly match the dark green accents on the caboose, and our 18" flat roof panels are coated to match the railing that traces the perimeter of the visitor center.
