Photo 29-BDU-17

Comments

Farm no longer there, view faces NE along EJ&E railway. House is on west side of tracks, Talbot Ave. just out of photo to lower right. Molenhouse disposal would be now visible in upper right of photo across tracks. Just a note, the Molenhouse building started off in the 70's as Warrenville Trailer Mfg. owned by Hally Haight, ex Warrenville Fire Chief, Ford tractor Dealer, and entrepreneur.

This farm was purchased by the State of Illinois for the Fermilab project in the 1960s. It is listed as Site #77 in the Fermilab archives and at the time was owned by the Ornatowski family. The buildings were removed shortly after the purchase.
