I am enclosing a photo I took of Clear Fork Methodist Church.

I am enclosing a photo I took of Clear Fork Methodist Church. My husband and I, like to explore counties and townships around our home in New Albany, I have a website called www,misterbanditravel.net that has all my pictures, along with explanations of the places we've been, An y information you can offer about about Clear Folrk or Franklin Township would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

The McCartney isn't on State Line. It is at the corner of Main and Front on the Texas side (Between the Bi-state and Union Station / Bowie County Corrections Center more or less). I don't think it ever actually fronted State Line. I don't believe State Line crossed Broad even before the Bi-State Justice Center was built in the mid-eighties. The Grim Hotel (also still standing and derelict) is at the corner of State Line and Third.

Certainly, please look at my collection here http://bridgehunter.com/pa/huntingdon/bh46346/

Tell me what you like/need in an email and we can go from there. Thank you!

Anyone selling pic of Shade gap pa covered bridge.?Thank you, Ella

The photos on this page for the Neif house are not correct. This is not the house located at 1410 Pecan Street in Texarkana, Arkansas. I purchased the Charles Neif house in 2008. I would be happy to supply you with photos if you would like to depict the correct house.

Just sad. Such a unique structure.

Andrew, do you know much about the Mothman Prophecies and the collapse of the Silver Bridge? Perhaps you could enlighten us.

There's another one in Ames, Iowa, on the opposite side of Lincoln Way from the Maple-Willow-Larch dorm complex, right next to the bus stop.

It can be observed in this image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/iowahighways/5830721264/

My grandparents gave birth to my uncle in Davidson, Maine in 1910. I've never been able to find it on maps of Maine.

Tonight, I decided to google it and there was an arrow pointing to a place where there seems to be nothing. Does anyone know anything about the place called Davidson?

map pin is wrong. it is north ocoee street

Tom,

I enjoyed very much my return visit to your now-fully-restored home. Since I first saw it, I have looked upon it as an amazing place. It is like a piece of theater. The outside is pleasantly typical, but once standing within the wide porch, one is struck by the extraordinary woodwork surrounding the front door.

Stepping inside, one can only gasp. The entry hall, with its wide elliptical arch and carefully restored grained doors, not only matches the fine craftsmanship around the door, it is fully comparable to what one sees in the great mansions of 18th-century Virginia.

This is only the start of the story–and, yes, your house is a story-teller. Opening the panel that you so cleverly concealed in the hallway one sees that the fine woodwork came only in the house’s second generation. It had been smaller, a bit simpler. Its original wainscot and doorpost, perhaps dating from the mid-1700s, came to be concealed in new walls added in about 1800. Then, to the right, the parlor was trimmed elegantly in the Greek Revival style of, perhaps, the 1830s. Outside the porch, bay window, and Gothic Revival front gable came still later.

For generations, this house has grown with its generations. Each has treasured it while adding the best of their own time. Together they have made it a veritable museum of architectural styles. Your loving care has continued the tradition in the finest possible way.

Best wishes, and thank you again for your hospitality.

Sincerely,

Craig Morrison AIA

Nice find. There's a couple in Linn County, one in front of the Abbe Creek School Museum, and the other is on Johnson Avenue NE in Cedar Rapids. Ill upload the one from Johnson Ave. Very unique and interesting pieces of history. Dave

Great find, Andrew. I think this site should be added to the Effigy Mounds category as it seems to meet the qualifications for inclusion.

Great find, Andrew. I wonder if this site should be added to the Effigy Mounds category?

This landmark was demolished in 2003-04 (see the State of Oregon's historic inventory form: (http://heritagedata.prd.state.or.us/historic/index.cfm?do=v.dsp_siteSummary&resultDisplay=45776)

You can see an aerial view of the former location here (http://goo.gl/maps/q74xp)

The stone house is built of cherty limestone.

My family lived in the Cobbs Estate in late 1958 to early 1959. Don't know how we ended up living there. Does anyone know who owned the house during those years?

I love the bridge!!!!!!!! My family and i have been walking across the bridge since I was in a stroller. Now I am 15. The bridge has much historical value as well as sentimental value to me. i truly love that bridge very very much!

Found info on this interesting old breached dam in Macomb County Michigan if someone wishes to create a page for it.

Yes, I lived there for a few years in the 90's and as far as I know my ex, who owns it still resides there

Irad Meinert was the brother of my great grandfather Garrett Meinert. Irad came from a family of six children, three of whom were deaf mutes. Irad left the farm in Wisconsin when very young and went out to Idaho where his half brothers and half sisters had relocated. He served as an Indian scout and also was an astute miner. He learned carpentry from his father Christopher as did my great grandfather, who was a deaf mute.

The high school ceased operation in 1964, but the school operated as an elementary school for about 20 more years. The post office closed in 1956, the Sumner Garage, the last business, closed in the early 1970's, and the First Christian Church closed in 1969. The Sumner Baptist Church is very active and community has a volunter fire department.

has there ever been a fire at edenhall mccormic south carolina? or any deaths? I have heard stories about a small boy with acandle in the road and had been seen in the windows but I wasunable to find any history about it. Can you help with some information?

This station is NOT abandoned; it's just private property. My father owns it, and lives across from it.

Cute Euro-style house, I am a Nieghbor and wish to know more history.

We are trying to find the history (original) of the building that sits on the corner of Wilson and Main Street in Greenland, AR. It was recently remodeled as a yoga studio that opened and closed very quickly. It sits empty at present. Appears to have possibly been a school or church at one time. Would like to know the history if anyone can help.

Thanks!

South Lee Mass is near the NY Border, the location is wrong in this listing

As a follow-up to a prior post, for anyone who is interested, the site does still stand on property privately owned by the Rogers Group Inc, who operates the quarry. A call to both the Filson Historical Society and the Rogers Group both confirmed the present state of the site and acknowledged its historical significance. It sits in a grove of trees immediately adjacent to ongoing operations, but there were no plans mentioned that would threaten its preservation. As such, it is likely safer where it is than left to vandals. As a side note, the Rogers Group was very kind in returning my call regarding the site, and describing its current preservation.

I went looking for this landmark with my children and was dismayed to find that it seems to be consumed by a rock quarry. There are some photos of it just a few years ago, in disrepair, but recognizable. Considering that the story of the Chenoweth Massacre is referenced so frequently at other historical sites like Locust Grove, I'm wondering why nothing is said about the present circumstances of the site. There is a marker about a mile away at the corner of English Station Road and Shelbyville Road, but the actual site seems to have been quietly discarded to private industry. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

This is a stunning building.

Hope to visit it soon. So glad it is preserved.

Is it a residence or a commercial site now?

This building is in serious danger of being demolished and replaced by student housing for the University of South Carolina. Updated the page with a link to a 2/26 article from the State (SC)

It'd be a sad day for Columbia if this were to happen.

Will be torn down in March,2013 to please the 1% new owner for reasons not yet disclosed to the sheeple.

You may as well remove this from your 'landmarks'... the BLM burned it to the ground in the mid-90's. It didn't fit the 'criteria'.

This structure is a private residence, NOT a restaurant or public building!

Last weekend, I was out and about exploring Lawrence, Ks. Just east of the University of Kansas main campus is a very old, nondescript house that is on the National Register - the George & Annie Bell House. The property was built just prior to Quantrill's Raid of Lawrence in August of 1863 and was burned after George Bell was killed trying to defend downtown. It's really great that I was able to find a gem like this to tie a very significant historical event for my state to the present. It's also excellent to be able to share properties like this to the rest of the world - usually, people would just drive by something like this.

Hi,

The Mosinee Fire Tower is indeed an active tower, or at least it was in my first WIDNR fire season in 2011. I actually got a very nice e-mail and tower operator patch from the operator himself.

The "S" shaped iron fastened to the wall is the end cap for iron/steel rods that run across the building to keep the walls from bowing out. There should be s corresponding one at the same location on the opposite side of the mill.

I used to be the Night Manger of this place in June '74 to January '75 under Mr. Daniel Layman. I think it is Historical Building 97 if I remember correctly. I used to conduct tours for the members and guests at night. The neatest artifact they have, in my opinion, is a silhouette drawing of Abraham Lincoln that was done by a pencil in one continuous stroke... the pencil was never was lifted off the paper for the entire drawing.

This is in St. Joseph County not in Branch County.

This house was dismantled and moved (for the second time in its history) to the Olde Town Morrow development in Morrow, GA in 2008. It is no longer standing in Macon.

Here's a photograph I took of the dam from downstream.

My brother and sister in law, dennis and ginger grey owned and partially restored rosebud farms during the mid 70's. It was an enormous home with huge stately rooms, and had a dark, creepy set of steep, mysterious stairs that led to the dank basement off the kitchen. The mansion was furnished with many of the original antique pieces owned by governor johnson and his family. The home was in desperate need of cleaning and restoration, as well as the beautifully overgrown grounds and delapidated swimming pool. It was a huge undertaking, and a financial investment of never ending porportions. After the greys sold the mansion and moved on to other endeavors, the outside pumphouse toppled onto the house and burned it down.apparently the owners who were from san francisco,were not present at the time of the tradegdy, but ,rebuilt rosebud mansion. I loved roaming about the grounds admiring the beautiful camilla trees, pear orchards, and out buildings. I felt part of a very significant piece of sacramento history and lucky to have Such a grand piece of architecture.thank you, judygrey

Working up a page on this historic and recently reopened depot in Gilbert, SC.

Days Ferry is actually in the town of Woolwich Maine.

Arch has a span of about 9 feet & a height of about 5 feet. I just answered my own question.

I'm hearing that this 100+ year old former passenger station is going to be torn down to make way for another hotel.

This barn is along us 22 near sego.

The 3 domes are now located near Freeport, IL, and are being reconstructed. The Buckstaff "collection" (3 telescopes, exhibits and various display items) are still in the hands of the previous owner, who lost the property in a bank foreclosure. Many items & books also went to the local public museum & UW in 1980...

Stannie's gorgeous Hall Of Fame For Great Americans complex @ the campus of Bronx Community College { BCC } of the City University of New York { CUNY } is now and " forevermore " a National Historic Landmark of the USA ..............

{ January, 2013 }

Not surprising. It was looking pretty ragged when we were there a couple of years back. When spider webs are counted as structural members, you've got a problem. ;-)

This barn was severely damaged during the 2012 windstorms and torn down.

Is there more historical information about Three Otters in Bedford, VA? All I can find is the location and I would like to know more about the history of the house.

I have been only able to find out scant information about this depot. So far, normally reliable sources of information about South Carolina depots has turned up very little in the way of a build date and the date passenger service ended here. I will keep looking.

I love the photos from outside of the hotel. I really wishI had driven by when I was out there in 1999.

The dairy that used this old brewery was Peoples Dairy Of Sandusky Ohio. My grandfather was Roy "Gipe" Steffenhagen. He was president and CEO. His Brother Allen Steffenhagen

treasurer. I can't remember what years the dairy was there. If you know , please contact me. Thank you.

I know a little. Claimed by the youngest of the McAfee brothers in 1780, a small limestone dwelling was built between 1780 and 1790. The young man died in a fight with natives and his widow sold the property to Joseph Morgan, who built a brick house beside the stone structure, c.a. 1817. A kitchen was added in the early 20th century.

This is not the Carter Allen house.

Do you have any history on the home?

Thankyou Amy Taylor

The photos I posted are from the ecolab part of the estate and are considered to be contributing resources.

Does anyone know who currently lives in the Singer Mansion?

The Altitude is 440 ft according to Google earth. Not over 500 feet shown on map.

How tall and wide is this?

I like the bridge.

"Nine rooms complete the home and the bricks of which it is constructed, were made from clay on the place. It has never been rebuilt, except for the windows and a few doors which were replaced after the Civil War, when the original ones were destroyed.

"The doors have hand wrought hinges, the fireplaces are large and uneven and it has many builtin cupboards, as they were known in the old days. The basement runs the full length of the first floor. The wide stairways add to the distinctiveness of the old home, and even the old plastered walls are intact.

"The front stairway is English. ...woodwork is heart pine ... The (stairway) woodwork is ivory and the colonial mantels that were part of the original construction still remain.' from the Knoxville Journal, Sunday March 27, 1938, Section 3, page 8, "Home Built Century Ago Has Warmth, Now Kept as Shrine to Family," by Pauline Smith. "On a marble slab over the door, is chiseled the name of the home - "The Ler-Mac." at that time the home was occupied by descendants S. Tim McMahan and his son, S. Tim McMahan, Jr.

The millstone and early date block are from an earlier grist mill that was located here.

The dam/powerhouse complex was built in 1925, and restored to power generation using Russian turbines/generating equipment in the 1980s or 1990s.

The boom is probably directing river debris away from the turbine inlets.

Hoping John Reidy credited for photos is John Reidy of Edwards prior to assignment at Academy.

Added five photos to this classy Richmond, Va. landmark.

I was just gonna say I have a Resturant in this Train Depot now it is pretty neat I would like to invite anyone to come in and look it took alot of hard work to get it fixed I love it stop by and check it out.

I posted a history of this railroad in the essay section. Check it out!

I updated this landmark with a story in the sources from the 12/14 State newspaper about it's possible demolition.

South Carolina

I updated this page with six modern-era photos as well as details of an arson that nearly destroyed the building. See also the new sources.

Of course Wilcox is on the USGS topographic map as my Dad was the mapmaker and we spent the summer of 1950 living right across the street from the Heilsberg farm. We spent the summer helping the Heilsbergs harvesting.

It's a shame this beautiful historic home is in shambles. The owner clearly has no interest in the upkeep or preservation of the property. My great grandmother built this home in the late 1800's and was a very active member on many of Waukesha's many committees, the library, symphony, etc. She took great pride in her home as did the person responsible for placing it on the National Historic Registry List. Hopefully someone will take an interest in the preservation before it falls down.

The "Bridge that nobody wants" as it's been called is owned by the Warwick Historical Society. Little has been done in recent years to stabilize the Bridge since most of their attention is directed with Moland House with is Township owned. It's been cleaned up a bit in the last year after at least ten years of neglect.

Doricham was built by Daniel Stagg (Jul 9, 1769-Nov 25, 1857) in 1835. Daniel was born in Hackensack, NJ and later married on Mar. 13, 1792 to Mary Conover (also known as Maria Cownover). Born Jun. 6 1773 in Somerset County, NJ. She died in 1864. They reared nine children while living at Doricham. Capt. James Stagg family moved to Fort Harrod, Mercer County, Kentucky in 1780. Commissioned captain by Geo. Washington in the American Revolution, Capt. James Stagg was the father of Daniel Stagg.

Myself and my family Poeschel family should have some say in what happens to something that belongs to 1 of our ancestors. I am the daughter of Kathryn Poeschel, Who is the daughter of love Carl Poeschel. MOST of our Poeschel family Live there in Hermann, MO. I don't see how it's fair that none of our family has a say in anything.
