The Office

The Office itself self. For as long as anyone can remember, The Office has always been known as "The Office." In the Meekins' clan it has developed a persona that everyone is familiar with. The Office has come to life for many of us through countless memories and experiences. The Office is a place that has provided for the family, it is a place of clutter, but also a place of smiles and joy. The Office seldom brings the family down, but always contributes to the well being in a most fundamental way. The Office has been a rock in the family, a place to keep our feet on the ground and drive us to continue working hard. The Office has taught us all valuable lessons about how meaningful even something small can be and it has helped us to appreciate the little things in all. The Surveyor's Office has many stories to tell, for today we will just take a look at the exterior.

The Office has been around for over a century. It has gone through additions and changes as it has been a school and a church, but for as long as it has been in the family, it has sported this colonial veranda. 

The character of The Office is beginning to show here. It is aged and worn, but still standing strong. It has a colonial styled veranda, but a gothic styled light fixture with a CFL bulb. The Office is a picture of how many smaller and different things can come together to make something lasting and significant. 

W.L. Meekins Sr. adorned the front door with this knocker and this type years ago. He loved finding antiques and reusing them. Perhaps this knocker is the source of the name for this beloved office.

Next time we will start exploring the adorned interior of The Office.
