Comments

Pinned location is approximate as nothing remains of the farmstead today. Note the unique square barn with copula. The Norfolk and Western (previously the New York Chicago and St. Louis) RR tracks are at the top of the photo. There are two sets of RR tracks seen, with the second set being a siding which began just east of where the lane crosses the tracks. This siding appears to have been short-lived since the 1954 and 1968 topo map shows only a single set of tracks at this location. Aerial photography from 1955 doesn't appear to show the siding. However, it is visible in the 1962 and 1968 aerial photos. View looks SSW.
