The red pin on the map is centered on the Mail Pouch barn in the photo above. The Mail Pouch sign has faded away. In the past the barn also had an Old Hillside Tobacco sign. The barn is ID as MPB/OHB 14-03-03 on the Mail Pouch Banrstormer's website.

As of now the barn and house are still standing. My goal one day (hopefully sooner rather than later) is to try to convince the owner to get the barn painted with the Mail Pouch sign again. It's one of the four standing barns of the seven Mail Pouch barns that I know of in Bartholomew County, Indiana.
