Other Information

The 1 story white structure (garage?) visible in Photos 4 (1982) & 5 (1985) is still existing in Photos 6 & 7 (2018).

Photos 3 & 4 were taken by Rick Curnutt who travelled Indiana from 1975 to 1983 photographing Mail Pouch barns. Photos 6 & 7 are follow-up photos of the site, where the barn was once located, which were taken by Rick's daughter, Jill Curnutt-Howerton. Jill has embarked on a journey, following her father's footsteps, to take current photos of the barns or the sites where the barns once stood. Ultimately, Jill intends to publish a book on Indiana's Mail Pouch barns which will highlight her father's photographs and research and incorporate her own photographs of; and, research into the current status of each barn.
