Keeping with the current series of posts highlighting the N scale kits by Custom Model Railroads, let’s take a look at Donaldson’s Department Store.
Again, located in St. Paul, Minnesota, this department store was known as “The Golden Rule” store prior to 1961 when it was renamed to Donaldson’s Golden Rule and eventually just Donaldson’s. The building was built in 1886.
