FEB. 14 ISSUE ANSWERS: This old barn has been moved north on Bailey Street to become the Romeo Historical Society’s second museum. The barn was probably constructed in 1868 after the area fire. In 1881, Fred Engler opened his tinsmith shop in the building. According to the Sanborn insurance maps, the shop was an upholstery shop in 1913. According to eye witnesses, the shop held an automobile repair business from 1918-1920. There is still oil on the floor from the work done on the early cars. And now in 1920, Cylde Craig moved to Romeo from Detroit with his family to start a blacksmith business. During the fifty years he worked in Romeo, Clyde shoed local horses as a farrier and made door hardware, repaired plows and tools as a blacksmith. He could replace a metal tire on a wagon wheel as a wheelwright. After the area trappers obtained their animal furs, they brought them to Clyde to be weighed and stacked and collected their pay, then Clyde took them to the Detroit furriers to be made into clothes. Clyde also took a correspondence veterinarian course, so he would treat sick horses. In 1970 when Clyde passed, the Romeo Historical Society moved the shop to its present location. Now thousands of visitors can watch the many volunteer smiths heating iron on the 1908 Buffalo Blower powered forge to shape the metal into new items. Richard Beringer, Romeo Historical Society staff
