Little Rapids General Store

Little Rapids General Store

Built in 1890, this General store located in Northern Ontario continues to thrive against all odds with the support of the surrounding community, international vacationers, and hard work by the owner and my father Mervin Brooks. I had the pleasure to live in the house attached above and behind this store for 18 years. My bedroom was the window on the top left. I cannot express how much I love this historic building. It has treated me well. Although I no longer live there, this store will always be considered my home. This is an acrylic painting that I did when I was 16 or 17 years old. Thank you.
