 The Jenson Drug Store Building, built in 1890, doubled in size in 1913 when the new owner, N. P. Jensen, purchased the building and the one next door and expanded the shop. The most prominent element of the building is its 1927 storefront. It features Tiffany brick pilasters, made locally by the Tiffany Brick Co., sand-blasted transom glass signs and copper window frames.  This type of storefront is generally called an arcade front and the Jensen building is the best example of this in the region.

Tips for construction of cardstock
models:
1) Print the model pages out in color onto cardstock. Each building involves
3 to 5 sheets. Warning: Normal weight paper will be too flimsy.
2) Use sharp scissors or an slim, handled craft knife-blade when cutting.
A metal straight-edge will assist when you cut.
3) Although standard white “school” glues will work, some
similar “craft” opaque white glues dry more quickly and with
less warping. Clear plastic-model glues don’t work well.
4) When gluing, lightly glue the tabs only, not the receiving surface.
Be careful not to use too much glue or the paper may warp or pucker.
5) Let the model dry after each gluing each piece before attempting the
next.
6) To make the crispest edges, lightly score along the inside of fold
lines before folding.
7) Glue the roof on last.
8) Enjoy Building Your Own Main Street historic building and check back
