This is a portion of the photo provided by Marian Laning Worrall, dated around 1907. The brick structure looks pretty good. You can see the loading deck and the most of the ground floor level. I think the item in front is a place to tie horses.

The author of "The Laning Wheelwright Shop, published by the HopewellValley Historical Society, offers the following comment.

"The old wheelwright shop and blacksmith shop was built by George Laning about 1826. He was the son of John and Abigail (Salyer) Laning. He was born in 1801 and was married in 1826 to Catherian Landis Runyan, daughter of John and Rebecca (Landis) Runyan." (The Laning Wheelwright Shop)
