Other Information

Details in Zinn's photo 3 were used to determine the approximate location for the barn site. Reference the details in photo 12 (Google street view) and photo 11 (Bing Map's bird's eye view). House in the Zinn view clearly visible in the other two photos.

The barn is clearly visible in Historic Aerials' imagery (1973). 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 13 is the location where the Mail Pouch barn once stood. The coordinates were used to determine the address for the entry.

Where to find it

The barn was on the right side of the highway headed west. The Mail Pouch sign (which was greatly faded) faced east. One end. Black background.
