Other Information
Photo 1 is an enlarged inset view from Photo 2.
The King Edward Cigar barn, other buildings in the view and the site configuration clearly visible in Historic Aerials' imagery (1956). The distance measurement tool was used to obtain the decimal coordinates for the barn. The coordinates were input to the Google map program and the red pin on Photo 5 is the exact location where the King Edward Cigar barn once stood.
Due to the proximity and the clear view of the unobstructed east end of the barn it is very possible that there was also advertising on that end.
Reviewing subsequent available historic aerial views of the barn it is noted that the barn and the other buildings had been razed and removed and the site cleared by 1981.
Where to find it
*GONE* (razed and removed) Along the north side of W. Fitchburg Rd. east of the S. Main St. intersection, in Leslie, by 0.8 mile. Note that W. Fitchburg Rd. is Mill St. within the Leslie city limits. The barn was on the left sie of W. Fitchburg Rd. headed east out of Leslie. The King Edward Cigar sign faces east. (see 'Other Information'). The original background color is unknown but probably black.
