Other Information

Two cupolas on the roof.

Photo 21 is the best view of the Mail Pouch sign on the southwest end of the barn.

Where to find it

Along US Rt. 52/US Rt. 62 southeast of the Virginia St. intersection, in Ripley, by about 1.4 miles. The barn will be visible in the distance along the left side of the highway headed southeast. It will be necessary to drive further south along US Rt. 52/62 to view the Mail Pouch sign. For the best view, turn left onto Co Hwy 1008 (Elk River Rd) and the barn willl be on the left side of the road. There are two Mail Pouch signs on the barn. One sign is clearly visible on the southeast side of the barn. There is a sign on the southwest end of the barn which is very faded (almost *GONE*). Black backgrounds.
