Other Information

Photo 1 is an enlarged inset view from Photo 2, and Photo 3 is an enlarged inset view from Photo 4.

One of only two known barns with all four sides painted; the other being MPB 35-08-06.

Larry Zinn's album had several more December 1988 photos of the other sides of this barn; however, the sun glare ruined them and it was not possible to Photoshop the photos to make them usable for inclusion on the site.
Where to find it

Along the southeast side of Waitman Willey Rd. (CR-9/1 -old US-250). From US-250 take Rachel Rd. north into Rachel. Follow Rachel Rd. until it T's into CR-9/1 (old US-250).
