Other Information

This barn is no longer standing. The exact location and configuration was developed using the ODOT aerial Photos which show the barn existing in a northeast to southwest configuration with the Mail Pouch sign on the northeast end of the barn. In the Google street view (Photos 9 & 10) the rubble of the barn is remaining. In Photo 11 (ODOT aerial photo) the barn is circled in yellow.

Photo 12 is a close up view of the barn in an ODOT aerial photo. Althought it is not clear, the Mail Pouch sign is visible on the northeast end of the barn in july 1956.

Where to find it

*GONE (fallen)* Along OH Rt. 550, northeast of US Rt. 33 intersection by about 3.0 miles. The barn was on the right side of the highway headed northeast. The Mail Pouch sign was on the northeast end of the barn One end. Black background.
