The coordintes were input to the Google map program and the red pin on the Photo 5 is where the Mail Pouch barn was located.

Note that this is a 'Unique' sign since the 'CHEW MAIL POUCH TOBACCO' is on the south end of the larger barn; and, 'TREAT YOURSELF TO THE BEST' is on the south side of the smaller barn just to the right rear of the larger barn.
