Other Information

Photo 1 is an enlarged inset view from Photo 2.

The Mail Pouch barn and other buildings on the site and the site configuration are all clearly visible in Historic Aerials' imagery (1969). The distance measurement tool was used to obtain the decimal coordinates for the Mail Pouch barn. The coordinates were input to the Google map program and the red pin on Photo 6 is the location where the Mail Pouch barn once stood.

Historic Aerials' imagery show that the barn had been razed and removed by 1987.

Photo 5 is a view taken from US-421 looking in toward where the barn once stood.
