Other Information

ODOT aerial photos were used to locate this barn.

In Photo 2 (ODOT Nov. 7, 1984 aerial photo) the Mail Pouch sign on the west side of the barn is visible.

In Photo 3 (Vintage Aerial 1988 photo) it is shown that the Mail Pouch sign has been painted over.

In Photo 1 (Gyla Schnauffer's Sept. 2000 view) the old Mail Pouch sign is bleeding through the overpaint.

For further confirmation of the barn location, note in Photos 1 and 4 the 2nd and the 4th (from the right) metal roofing sheets are faded in exactly the same way.
