Typical of steel industrial buildings constructed from the 1970s to the present, this detailed Cornerstone kit includes a two-story main factory with front office, truck and railcar loading areas, a separate lumber storage building with interior racks, and a large dust and sawdust collector.

Modern furniture manufacturing brings together raw materials, production, storage, and shipping in one industrial operation. Lumber and other supplies can arrive at the facility while finished products leave for distribution, creating opportunities to combine railroad freight movements with truck traffic. Walthers designed the Modern Furniture Factory as a contemporary facility that can operate independently or as a satellite building within a larger manufacturing complex.
