This is a great story about a father and son, from California, who purchase an historic 19th century building in the very small SW Wyoming town of Opal, and are restoring it as an ammunition manufacturing plant.

quote:
Hailing from California, the Whitefords had been captivated by their vision of restoring and transforming the building into an ammunition manufacturing company since 2013. This inspiration sparked after the older Whiteford's brother, Bill White, sent him a photo of the property.

But at the time, the tax lien holder wasn’t interested in selling. When that changed, White, who served on the Opal Town Council, notified his brother and the Whitefords jumped at the opportunity.

That is too cool. Interesting about the original owner and his friend with the same last name looking like the same man.

Also, the haunting is an interesting sideline.

"The upstairs rooms were used as a hotel and a brothel...the Opal Mercantile was once a bustling hub pulsating with life...."

I'm sure it was! Big Grin
