The Ice Cream, Snack Bar and Grocery Store

Concentrating on the ‘named’ bricks we found an interesting image from the late 1950s that used a few of them in the design of the building. While we don’t need another large building at this point of our planning, we like the look of the repetitive use of the named 1 x 8 bricks. This image shows a retailer display building that was sold in The Netherlands in 1958/59. The bricks on display were from the add-on set #226.

A retailer display model was sold to retailers in 1958-59.

Lego set #226 - it contained eight named 1 x 8 bricks

We’ll use some of the design ideas from our Phase one builds and incorporate some of the named brick pieces. Might be nice to use some of the non-English bricks…
