This home and the summer cook kitchen behind it were dismantled about a year after this photo was taken. In its place is the home which is pictured in your 1996 series of photos of Schultz Creek Hollow labeled "Photo 6-ZGR-16". The house pictured here was built in the early 1930's by my grandparents who lived on this section of the land. The land had come into the family's possession in the early 1900's when my great grandfather and his second wife purchased a large tract of land on both Schultz and Beechy Creek (across the hill behind this house. This land left the family's care in August of 2014. This property adjoins the land on which Starr School Elementary is located and was part of a 90 acre plot which was a family farm with two homes. The second home is number 10 (the next photo) in this roll of film. The state of Kentucky destroyed the bottom land which was used for farming and livestock on both properties when it decided not to continue with the four lane highway project connecting State Route 23 with Ohio State Route 50 which Ohio (also built as a four lane highway) in New Richmond, Ohio. Instead, they decided to do a two lane highway from the Covington, Kentucky area to Kentucky State Route 23 just outside of Greenup, Kentucky. This road became known as the AA (Double A) Highway/Kentucky State Route 10.
Correction: US 23 and US 50.
