Gomez Store

You might think I'm a little nuts, but I'd like to scratch build a version of the classic Gomez store for my G scale layout.
The Gomez store used to be located in Pagosa Junction (Gato) on the (now long abandoned) D&RGW narrow gauge line between Chama and Durango. I visited the store when it was still at Pagosa Junction in the mid 1990s. Amazing place with shelves still full of products. It was almost like a living time capsule. Recently it was moved from it's historic location. I'm not sure were it went.
However, since I'd like to build a replica I've been trying to collect photos of the store. I was hoping some of the members here might have photos they'd be willing to share.

Below is an image of the excellent Grandtline HO scale kit, oh if they only made a G scale version
