of the
liveliest
shop

in the
early
nineteenth
century
along

surely
the
felt

unusual
textile
operation
,
illustrated
by
scenes
in a
popular
style
painted
on the
front
of the
building
-
the
only
noteworthy
archeological
element
of the
structure
-
involved
felting
, the
production
of
cloth
by
means
of
rubbing
or
pressing
animal
hair
like
rabbit
fur
, or
even
clumps
of
rather
rough
wool.
