Other Information

Photo 5 is an enlarged inset view from Photo 6. This was provided to show that in 1993 the old Mail Pouch sign was bleeding through the white overpaint and the word 'BEST' is barely visible at the upper right side of the barn in the view.

A review of Ohio Dept of Transportation aerial photos included an early 1950's view which indicated that the sign was not on the barn in the early 1950's. The only 1960 view is too overhead for a view of the side; however, it is believed that the Mail Pouch sign was painted in the late 1950's or early 1960's since Photo 3 (Vintage Aerial 1973 view) shows the barn freshly painted white and the Mail Pouch sign painted over and *GONE* by that date.

As shown in Chad Wilkins photos (Photos 16-22 - April 2017) the barn siding had been removed; however, the metal roof on the barn was still remainging. Photo 23 a Google street view (June 2018) the metal roofing has been removed. Only the barn framework is visible from US-22 at that date. By August 2021 Google street view shows the barn is no longer visible from US-22. Photo 23 the red pin is centered on the remains of the barn framework which has fallen. The pin was used to determine the address and the coordinates.
Where to find it
