Default For you old timers. What business occupied this building for years?

Not too far from me is an antique mall in an old industrial building that I just had to visit some years ago. It is mentioned many times in "Sixguns By Keith". Skeeter Skelton also had reason to write about them. No doubt other guys in their line of work, too. What business used this building for years?

And the basement was actually a long underground shooting range that they say was filled in. Walking around looking at antiques, I just imagined all those guns being worked on there. Some of Elmer Keith's favorites, for example.
