General stores and similar storefront businesses were an important part of communities across North America, often located only a few blocks from the railroad. Smith's General Store can serve as a traditional small-town business, an older storefront incorporated into a later-era commercial district, or a restored historic building. Its false-front architecture and large street-facing windows make it especially well suited to prominent locations along an HO scale Main Street.
