Comments

Note the Mail Pouch Barn just left of center. 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 4506 IL-157, Edwardsville, IL 62025. View looks ESE. The house in the bottom center has been added onto considerably. All outbuildings in the rear of it are no longer there. The house on the right is still standing. The electrical transmission towers at the top of the photo parallel the Illinois Terminal RR tracks.
