Other Information

Photos 1 & 2 are enlarged inset views from Photo 3.

Historic Aerials imagery was used to positively locate this barn. The distance measurement tool on the site gave the exact decimal coordinates of where the barn once stood. These coordinates were entered into the Google map program and in Photo 4 the red pin is where the Mail Pouch barn was once located. The pin was used to determine the location information for the entry and the address.

Where to find it

*GONE* (razed and removed) Along the northwest side of IL-37 southwest of the intersection with US-45 by 6.0 miles. The barn was on the right side of IL-37 headed southwest from US-45. The Mail Pouch sign faced northeast. One side. Black background.
