Anyone Have Memorabilia Room Pictures to Share?

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the kind words.

I'm very fortunate, my grandfather built the shed for my grandma back in the early 90s for all her auction buys, so I had the benefit of working from its bones. I included some before pictures below. Unfortunately 12 years of sitting empty before my wife and I moved in meant it needed a new furnace, air conditioning, insulation, doors & windows, etc., but it was a fun vision to execute.

I posted a picture of the finished outside as well. Total building is 32x40, with the baseball room being about 30x32. The small room in the back I dedicated to some military history so I can share that with some of the high school kids I teach. I'll include some pictures of that also for any history folks on here.

As for the bar, Rob... I do have a two-tap kegerator in the barn next door with a bar, but the best I can do in here is keep the old coke cooler in the storage room stocked!

Ryan that is a great job! I am having major "He Shed" envy!

You are going to easily win the award for best shed. Unbelievable! I can’t imagine having that much space for stuff. Congratulations.

Ryan,
That's flat out unbelievable! I love it!!
Congrats on your progress and I wish you many years of fun filling it up.

That looks more like a guest cottage than a shed. Very impressive. Great job having multiple interests like that. I used to collect Civil War ephemera and give lectures so I know how important visuals are.

I'm always humbled when I see pictures of sheds that are bigger and nicer than my entire house!

Very nice stuff.

Thanks a ton guys, I really appreciate it. I thank grandpa every day for building that shed, though I'm sure he didn't know he was building it for me at the time! As an avid baseball fan and gun collector, I think he'd enjoy what it has become if he could see it now.

In the 10 years that I've been collecting HOF and vintage baseball, I've relied heavily on this forum. I have been awed time and again with the level of knowledge and expertise of our members, so I look forward to continuing to learn from you veteran collectors as I track down items worthy of the space! Thanks again!
