Other Information

Photo 1 is an enlarged inset view from Photo 2.

Photo 3 is a view of the barn in 1985. As shown in the Vintage Aerial Photo 2 & 3 the barn was in deteriorating condition. Photo 4 is a view of the barn taken in the Summer of 1987. It has been refurbished with new wood siding, a new roof and has been painted. At the time of renovation the original Mail Pouch sign on the north end of the barn was lost and apparently, wanting to keep the barn as a Mail Pouch barn the Owner painted a Mail Pouch sign on the east side of the barn. The new ID for the barn is Owner-Painted/Tribute Barn 34

Where to find it

*GONE* (razed and removed) Along the south side of US-50 west of the US-421 intersection, in Versailles, by 2.6 miles. The barn is on the left side of US-50 headed west from Versailles. The Mail Pouch sign faced north. One end. Black background.
