Very interesting to investigate inside each of these structures. I do believe anyone that may be tall could have had a few issues. So just how did Abe make it through these doors?
The Carlisle Forge:
We've seen nails being made here and even shell casings. I guess the Blacksmith was on his lunch hour or called it a day since he closed up shop for the day.
