First...thank you for the kind comments everyone 
My thoughts on the backdrop are these........If I could paint, I would do a kind of hazy representation of the road and houses trailing off into the distance. Unfortunately I can't, so I will spare all of us that fiasco
. A suitable picture on the backdrop would work , as Pete said, at certain angles, but not others. I am leaning toward this solution even with its drawbacks and will try some tests (I tried some a while back with some promising results and others not so promising). It should be interesting
The new structure was a very difficult choice. In fact, it took quite a while to find anything that felt right.
A flury of pictures were sent back and forth between me and Kurt, but finally we both liked this:

The store will be brought up to date a bit, and of course Mr Rose will be a lot older , but I think it will be a nice addition to the layout. We shall see.
