Photo 27-CKE-27

Okay, I'm very curious to know if any locals know the history of this property. In the photo, the small building nearest the road appears to be a square shape, but then one of the walls is at a major angle compared to the others, like it was cut off at one time. Or was the road different at one time and the building built as close to it as they could get? I'm very interested in learning more about this! That particular building no longer exists according to the most recent overhead view, but I bet there's a unique story behind it.

This property is located at the intersection of Hwy EW and Hwy NN. It was owned by Claire Fox who had a small plane that was kept behind the garage shown in the picture. He would use Hwy NN as the runway. This mainly occurred before the road was widened. The smaller building closest to the road was trimmed down a bit so cars were able to see from a further distance if any other vehicles were approaching the intersection. As you can see in the picture there are no stop signs. This picture had to have been taken right after or even during the widening construction of the roads.
