Photo 19-PRO-34

Comments

This and the next three are the John Robinson Farmstead at 1322 Anderson Station Road. His father was the lone casualty in Nathaniel Massie's "Battle of Reeve's Crossing" near future Bainbridge in 1795, two skirmishes with a band of Shawnees on the cusp of settlement of this part of Ohio.

The house is recorded to have been built by Robinson about 1830, and the main barn is probably early 20th century.

See also 1963 Vintage Aerial 20-DRO-9 and 1984's 26-YRO-3 (the aerial photographers seem to like this farmstead, or were paid for repeat visits). The house (at least a photo of its rear and its floorplan) is noted on pages 114-115 of "The American Farmhouse," by Henry J. Kauffman (1975).

The flight path for this roll is WAY out of scale.
