c. 1870 – Late Greek Revival
In May, 1882, Fred Engel resigned his position as head tinsmith in the hardware store of J. R. Moreland and established himself in this tin shop. For years, Engel, (1829-1923), produced the finest copper tea kettles and other metal Items that were available in Romeo. n 1919 Clyde Craig acquired Engel’s shop and turned it into a blacksmith shop which he ran until the late 1960s. The shop probably was built c. 1870 and is late Greek Revival in style.
The shop is now operated by the Romeo Historical Society and is open on some Saturdays. Check their website at http://romeohistoricalsociety.org/ for hours and details.
