6322 Greentree Rd - Greentree Riding Stables. The house is gone but some of the outbuildings remain.

This was my grandparents farm when this photo was taken. Years later we would live here for several years and run a successful horse boarding business.
This farm had been in our family for 8 generations before being sold in 1975. The farmhouse was built in the Shaker style, it still had pegs on two of the rooms walls where they would hang there chairs. There were also spiral staircases on opposite sides of the house, I assume one for men and one for women as they generally did that. There was a fireplace in every room along with a cellar under the house and an ice house just outside the back of the house. There was also a good sized coal shed that sat beside the garage. The house no longer exists, it was torn down in the early 2000's.
