Other Information

Photo 7 is an enlarged inset view from Photo 8. Note in this photo that in 1983 there was an extension along the southeast side of the barn. The other views show that this extension has been removed and the Mail Pouch sign is visible. It is problable that the original barn did not have the extensions on either the southeast or the northwest sides. The Mail Pouch sign is vintage 1950's-60's. Due to the proximity of the barn to the highway the existing extension on the northwest side of the barn may be covering an old Mail Pouch sign. Photo 5 is a May 2023 view looking in toward the barn site. The barn is barely visible at the lower left of the pine tree.

Where to find it

Along the southwest side of Dixie Hwy., southeast of Grange Hall Rd. by 0.4 miles. The barn is on the right side of the highway headed southeast. The Mail Pouch sign faces southeast. One side. Black background. Greatly faded.
