Other Information
Photo 1 is an enlarged inset view from Photo 2.
The Ohio Dept. of Transportation aerial photo archives were used to assist in locating where this barn once stood. In Photos 4 & 5 the Mail Pouch barn is circled in yellow. In Photo 4 The house across the highway, which is now gone is circled in red: and, the barn across the highway (also gone) from the Mail Pouch barn is circled in blue. In Photo 5, the MPB 35-30-26 is circled in yellow and MPB 35-30-24 is circled in lime.
Photo 6 Google satellite image the location of the Mail Pouch barn (MPB 35-30-26) is the red pin. This pin was used to determine the address and the coordinates. The location where MPB 35-30-24 was located is circled in Lime.
To determine the location of the barn the Google satellite image was made identical to the scale of ODOT aerial photo: the distance between the two barns (MPB 35-30-24 & MPB 35-30-26) on the ODOT aerial photo, was measured and the distance transferred to the Google satellite image. This worked out perfectly. In the photos the swale behind the barn falling off to the tree line is noted and in the Google satellite image and Google street views in the location match perfectly with the site configuration in Photos 2 & 3.
