Photo 11-GJO-1

Comments

This photo is being taken as the plane is possibly above the college campus, looking southwest. At the bottom center is Franklin College's football field (Grizzlies). Right above that in the photo is our home (est 1900), which was relocated along with other houses in 2003 from campus to south of the Masonic home. The train track is splitting our house off from the football field. To the left of that, the grain elevator, is gone, and is now the location of the Franklin Library. The circle of large buildings and water tower is part of the masonic home. Covered by trees in the photo is the old entrance. Now you enter through a road that takes you through newer-built homes, that are also part of the masonic property, before arriving at the circle of buildings.
