Mike Watson Favorite Old Photo: Cole's Tin Shop 2016-08-17 - 106 S Reed Street, Columbia, KY - Photo from the collection of Mike Watson. Mike Watson writes: In searching for a photo, found this one that you might be able to use. Cole's Tin Shop, probably taken in late 1970s or early '80s. - Mike Watson. Note: Cole's Tin Shop endures. It was previously Walker Tin Shop, and later, Burton Tin Shop, the name it goes by today, in 2016. It's painted now, but the familiar architectural lines are still virtually the same.
