Other Information

Photo 2 is an enlarged inset view from Photo 3.

The barn and the other buildings shown in Photo 3 are clearly visible in Historic Aerials' imagery (1983). The distance measurement tool was used to obtain the decimal coordinates of the barn. The coordinates were input to the Google map program and the red pin on Photo 5 is the exact location where the Mail Pouch barn once stood.
