Other Information

Photo 1 is an enlarged inset view from Photo 2.

I first visited this site to photograph the barn with Lonnie Schnauffer on Sept. 27, 1998. The barn had started to deteriorate by then. By early 2000's the barn was falling and Lonnie talked to the owner of the barn and the owner told him that if he took the barn down and cleaned up the site, he could have the Mail Pouch sign. In June 2003 Lonnie went to the site with a truck and large trailer and some help and he took the barn down and kept the Mail Pouch sign boards. Photos 29-41 document that day in June 2003 when Lonnie dismantled the barn. - Dave Tower.
