Comments

Sampson residence on Highway 157, south of Edwardsville. They sold monuments.

At the time of this photo, the highway in the foreground had recently become State Highway 157. Prior to that, it was designated as Bypass US 66. Pinned location is 2995 S State Rte 157, Edwardsville, IL 62025. Directly across the highway from the house is Calvary Catholic Cemetery. The monument business is no longer there and much of it and the front yard of the house were sacrificed for the widening of 157. Across from the monument lot is the entrance to Sunset Hill Memorial Estates. View looks NW.
