The Ohio Dept. of Transportation aerial archives (ODOT) were used to determine where this barn once was located.
Photo 2 is an enlarged inset view from Photo 3.
Photo 11 (ODOT aerial photo) has been rotated 90° to allow for better view of the Mail Pouch sign on the west end of the barn.
Photo 12 (ODOT aerial photo) is a 1970 image of the site with the Mail Pouch barn circled, and the house, at the northwest corner of the intersection, which is still existing also circled. Compare with Photo 13 (Google satellite image) with the existing house circled in red and the location where the Mail Pouch barn was once located noted by the red pin.
It is difficult to see; however, in the Photo 11 there is a Mail Pouch sign barely visible on the east end of the barn in 1960.
Photos 1 & 10 by Myron Huffman show that there was a Mail Pouch sign on the east and the west end of the barn in the 1970's. By the condition of the Mail Pouch sign it is apparent that Photos 1 & 10 were taken not long after the Mail Pouch signs on the barn had been repainted. Myron Huffman was taking most of his photographs in the early 1970's. A 10 year life for a Mail Pouch sign was not unusual before they would have been touched up. The Vintage Aerial Photos 2-4 show that the sign is in very good condition in 1982.
Photos 5-9 showing Harley Warrick in the process of painting the sign is undoubtedly a 'photoshoot' to get photos for publicity or to accompany an article about Mail Pouch. These photos are dated 1983, which would work since the Vintage Aerial Photo 2 (1982) shows the board behind the 'T' in 'BEST' exists while in 1983 the board is missing! Photos 5-7 are titled "During the Paint" and the photos 8 & 9 are titled "After the Paint".
Photos 1-9 are views of the east end of the barn. Photo 10 is a view of the west end of the barn.
