Other Information

Photo 2 is an enlarged inset view from Photo 3.

The only location information available stated that the barn was along OH Rt. 800 south of Barnesville. The ODOT aerial photo files were searched to locate the barn which resulted in the location being determined. The barn is circled in yellow in Photos 9 & 10.

Note on Photo 8 that the Mail Pouch sign is visible.

Where to find it

*GONE* (razed and removed. The old farm house that is in photos 1-6 has been razed and replaced with a modular home). Along Somerton Hwy (OH-800) south of the intersection with OH Rt. 147 (W Pike St), in Barnesville, by about 3.2 miles. The barn was on the left side of the highway headed south. The Mail Pouch sign faced south. One side. Black background.
