Other Information

Photo 1 is enlarged from Photo 2 and Photo 3 is enlarged from Photo 4.

The location of where this barn was once located was determined by studying the flight paths of Vintage Aerial film strips 15-OFR-4 (1972) and 40-EFR-4 (1976). Photos in these strips were positively located on each side of the subject photos. In addition, aerial imagry from the Indiana Dept. of Transportaion was used in the location process. The imagry in the specified area was very blurred; however, there are patterns indicating buildings which are no longer present. The wood line in these blurred images are also similar to the wood lines at the rear of the barn in the photos. In Google satellite imagery there are indications that buildings had been cleared from the site.

Where to find it
