Other Information

The Mail Pouch barn adjacent to the Mail Pouch barn are clearly visible in Historic Aerials' imagery (1984). The distance measurement tool was used and the decimal coordinates for the center of the Mail Pouch barn were obtained. The coordinates were input to the Google map program and the red pin on Photo 7 is the exact location where the Mail Pouch barn once stood. The address for the site was determined using the decimal coordinates.
