My dad had those for years. That was my first apt in like 99-2001 I think. The walls were insulated with rolls of 1920s news papers nailed to slats. It Did NOT work.

Butte's historic M&M Cigarstore was destroy in a fire early this morning May 7, 2021.

This building was not completely demolished. Much of the façade remains, and a painted brick "Fowler Bros." sign was reassembled in the lobby of the lofts. See https://belkhudsonlofts.com/about/

Nicely done!

Hope this shows clearly.

Repainted 2020

To be demolished soon.

Please message me if you are interested in a twenty-five year plaque given to my aunt in 1973 and a retirement plaque given her after 33 years of service with Spring Mills in 1981. She began working for Spring Mills in 1948. Thank you!

Click on the link under Sources that says National Register Database. There you will find the original application to the National Park Service to include the property on the NRHP. You'll find it to probably have far more information than you really wanted.

A little more information about this old tevern would be of great interest. I don't see what year it was built only years of significance starting in 1810. Who built the tavern? Of course for me the name Morris makes it of interest. Also, is there any pictures of the interior and does anything of the original tavern still exist inside? For instance, another tavern built in Bedford County, the tavern still exists inside of the Defibaugh tavern.

Location and photo shown are incorrect. Confusion appears to arise from the bridge name, as it is located on nearby Brugler Road, not Warrington Road. Refer to attached photo and NJDOT Historic Data sheet.

Maybe Wikipedia will pick up on this and correct their article

We really don't have any genealogy resources on this site so the short answer is that we probably can't help you out.

You might try some of the genealogy sites to begin your search, such as https://www.usa.gov/genealogy or https://www.myheritage.com/page/free-genealogy-websites

I hope you can find what you are looking for.

No.

Hi

This is an odd question that you may not be able to answer. But my grandmother apparently taught at one of the small schools in the Bridger area in the 1920's -1930's. Her name was Montana Hodges and after she married her name was Montana Gilbert (her nick name was Monny)

Any chance that you can confirm she taught at one of these schools?

Vulcan Materials has a petition to tear this dam down. I would like to know why and what impact it will have on there area around it.

My grandma and her siblings were there somewhere between 1930 to 1940 ish. I have been trying to find out about her mother. I have been told her mother passed away and that is why the children have been given to the county home. Please if anyone can help with information it will be great to hear. My grandmas name was Shirley Gallagher and she had 6 siblings all older then her except for her baby sister.

Doug, if you look at the page under "Sources" you'll find a link to the original application to include the complex on the National Register of Historic Places. "National Register database" is the link to the National Archives. The document is comprehensive and very thorough - in other words, there is a lot to wade through but I think it will answer most of your questions.

Does anyone know about the Children's Home School building? I believe it was just West of the administration building. I lived in one of the four "cottages", mostly in Boys 1 in about 1979-81. I always wondered what those cottage buildings were originally intended for. I assumed they were Tuberculosis residence buildings but they may have been outbuildings from the agricultural college. They weren't very fancy but I am sure they didn't build them just for us. Also, when I lived in the Children's Home, I remember a big hospital that was white with tall narrow windows, behind it just to the North. Kids told me it was an abandoned insane asylum and that it was haunted. I guess you could see the electric shock rooms and they had a barber chair you could sit in. They tore it down before I could never see it. Now the whole Children's Home is gone except for the admin building.

this site is owned by a non-profit to protect it as an undisturbed archealogical site. Private owners visitors discouraged. Heavily wooded site.

Fort Obrien on Port Rd. in nearbye Machiasport is a state historical area open to the public. Has civil war cannon, parking and open area, earthwork fortifications remain visibe..view of Machias Bay site of the Battle of the Margaretta, first naval battle of REV. Much more interesting.

BethesdaNaval Hospital is known for receiving thousands of Marines who were wounded during the Vietnam War.

It is the place where President John F. Kennedy’s body was taken for autopsy after he was assassinated on Nov 22, 1963.

It is also the place where Secretary James Forrestal jumped to his death in 1948.

My parents were good friends with a member of the Dawson family and we lived there on the property through the summer of 1976. I remember there was an illegal alcohol still hidden upstairs in the house, and I used to play in the mud-filled basement and the creek out back (I was around 8 years old). I also remember there being both a family cemetery plot with crypts and headstones, as well as a slave graveyard with small markers over to the side. There was also a separate kitchen building that looks like it's long gone.

Man, I hate to see this kind of thing. It's bad enough when we lose these bridges to the ravages of Time.

Have you looked for them on findagrave.com? It's not a complete database, by any means, but it is surprising how many headstones and graves can be located there.

My ancestors are buried in a cemetary there and would love to take a trip to see one day

In the 1960s there was a mill dam in Earlville across the Manatawny Creek at where Trout Run enters the creek.Where Manatawny and Longview Rd. meet. The dam allowed swimming, boating, docks etc. above the dam before the flood of 1972 washed it away. Does anyone know the name of the mill or dam?

hello. I have some wonderful pictures of the Lick Log mill store. That i took many years ago. Probably from the middle 1990's. It was a very quint store back then. I was thinking maybe the owners or the city would like to have them.

We've been by the store many times this past year. Its a shame its just sitting there rotting. Maybe these pictures might spark the city/county to clean it up to make a beautiful landmark indeed.

Thank you

The Robert Vinton Beall House is at 1252 Beall Lane in Central Point and not 1253 Beall Lane.

There is nothing but open field at 1253 according to Google Maps.

Robert is my fourth cousin 3 x's removed.

My mother's family (Carters) lived in Tyrone/Woodford. Do you know the name of the Carter Family that owned this farm?

This is inaccurate. The older part of the house dates from the 1790s. The portion with the porch and columns dates from the 1850s. The house was originally built by Robert Huston, first justice of the peace of Lincoln County. That part of the hosue extends from the front, with the smaller entrance, along the side to the second lilac bush. (The section after that my father added in the 1980s.) The Greek Revival section was added on (after part of the original house had been removed) by his descendant Gilmore Huston in the 1850s. The house has two styles from two time periods and is older than this post states. My family has owned this house since 1965 and I live there for much of the year and have for many years.

I lived there in 1959 with my family. Is it occupied now?

This is called Fishing Creek, or Nitrolee Dam, but is not the same as the Great Falls-Dearborn Dam. Great Falls-Dearborn is 3 miles downstream, closer to Great Falls.

Error due to a typo when I added the landmark. Accidentally typed 1950 instead of 1850! Thanks for bringing to our attention and it has now been corrected.

Hi, My family moved to Texola in 1906. My mother was born there. My sister and I were born there. And my grandparents lived there until 1971. I am kin to most of the people in the cemetery located south of town. The building that you have pictured was not the Longhorn Trading Post. It was a Texaco Filling Station and a little stop and go grocery store that was owned by my aunt and uncle. I've spent many hours sitting on the ice chest, looking at the magazines, and talking to my family as people came and went. The little turquoise building on the south side of the old Route 66 was the church of Christ. Across the street with the roof caved in was the Methodist Church. I'm 74+ and my plot is located in the Texola Cemetery to be filled at some later date. Have a great day!!! Toodles,

Jo

This house was not built in the 1950s. My grandmother, Olga, was born in this house in 1896 and she was child number four.

As a little leaguer back in the late '50s, I recall entering on the far right into what might appear as an annex to this building. Through that entrance then up the stairs led to the old K of C hall, where our Little League East baseball team held its annual banquet, guests of the K of C who sponsored our team.

I was very disappointed to find out this depot was torn down. I was in Abbeville briefly in 2008 and spent a few minutes at the depot taking pictures. Here are some of the images I have. I also included an image I found of the depot in the 1940s. Thank you.

There appears to be very little out there about him. A photo album with the name Ernest J. Hess was donated to Columbus State University in Georgia. Is if from this Hess? I have no idea but it could be. https://archives.columbusstate.edu/findingaids/SMC132.php

You might inquire at the American Institute of Architects.

I own another building by hess. Do you have and recommendations on how to find more information on him. This building listing is the only reference that came up in a google search.

The Thomas Scott House was used for a field hospital for both Union & Confederate wounded after battle of Mansfield in April 1864. The house is located about two miles west of the old town of Kingston and is still standing, although in poor condition, to this day.

Vintage Aerial has this labeled as the former MFA Exchange building

Just found a photo of this building on Vintage Aerial that has it labeled as the Linklider furniture store.

That's not this bridge! That's the Mt Zion bridge over on KY-458 (used to be KY-431 when traffic could still go across the covered bridge). The bridge is still there alongside the newer concrete bridge.

There was a time (1960's/70's) when they were actively entertaining damming up the Beech Fork up near the confluence with Chaplin River to make the large Campground Reservoir that would have inundated The Mt Zion covered bridge, the Chaplin covered bridge, the Sharpsville covered bridge and this one.

This bridge has been gone since KY-152 was straightened out near the Beech Fork in the mid-80's.

Street view has been corrected and verified correct. Thanks for the info.

The photo is not the Nathan's Department Store. Nathan's is across the street from this building.

I checked on it today, I attempted to attach a photo not sure if it will send with email. It’s still completely intact. Thanks to the careful harvesting of the quarry operations, they have kindly left a buffer zone around it.

The majority of NRHP listings on this site were downloaded from the National Park Service archives. To say that the database has a few typos would be an understatement.

Built in 1888.

Who was Charles A. Daniels?

Town name is "Lynden" not "Lyden"

I live in the house today. Nice place with historical value.

Here's a vido I recently did on the history of Perryville: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ENn10NObxQ

This bridge was demolished in 2017 or 2018

This building has been torn down & is now a gravel parking lot.

Hey Bill, et al -

I may have found the discrepancy for the address (116 Candler vs 39 W Candler).

I was looking at the Sanford Fire Maps (1921-1925 edition) of the area, and noticed in it that at one time, Candler St was one long street from origin to termination - with the origin starting at Midland St, it would be 10 or so city blocks to reach the Jackson-Johns house, thereby placing it's original address (when it was built) at around 116 Candler St.

However, sometime between then and now, the street was split - everything west of Broad street became West Candler St, and everything East became East Candler St - hence, my house now being at 118 even though I am west of the W. Candler and Church St intersection.

It doesn't explain the "demolished" status though, as obviously the house is still there and even accommodating the split, 116 W Candler was demolished many years ago as there was a tennis court there from the 40's all the way up into the 80's - now it's an empty lot next to me owned by my neighbor.

Anyway, hope that helps with the address difference.

Thanks!

RBS

I am the current owner, and it is most definitely not demolished!

This barn is gone

A beautiful bldg. with lots of history it’s a land mark. I worked for the Seneca hotel as a nite auditor they save that bldg we should save our old blogs.thanks a lot bob little ps I now work rite across the street so I see this bldg. every day

Wow! Best laid plans... went down to take pictures of the house, ended up tripping on the curb and sprained my ankle. Just didn't feel much like trying to get shots after that.

But finally after a lot of bed rest and wearing a boot, I hobbled today down there to take the pictures; find them attached.

Thanks!

I was around 14 to 15 when I started going to drag city. My older brother and me started going to drag city a bunch in the 60’s and then we started going to Paradise drag strip one week and drag city the next really in joyed them both. Then I was drafted into the army at 18 then that was the end of our drag racing. Watching the funny cars spoiled me then we couldn’t hardly watch the street cars race any more. Is drag city strip still there under the grass. And if you know about Paradise please let me know about it too.

The primary image is not in the Deering Street Historic District. It is the Stephenson House on the corner of State and Spring Streets. It is about 4 or 5 blocks from the district.

https://portlandhousestories.com/2018/03/25/119-121-state-street/

was the house burned during Civil War?

Demolished.

Hi Bill -

No, the address is more in the upper 30's in the block between Broad and Woodlawn next door to The Magnolia Restaurant and across the street from the city parking lot - I'm at 118 W Candler. Per JR's request, I'll get some pics of the house and get them uploaded of it's current state - I have to go down there today anyway to get my haircut. :)

The group called Save the Soldiers Home has posted a fascinating article about the Ward Theater. It is one of the beautiful buildings at the Old Soldiers Home in Wood, Wisconsin and is also one that is greatly endangered. The article shares the history of the Ward Theater and includes some great photos of the interior.

I have posted a link to the article on the Ward Theater page.

I listed it as demolished based on Wikipedia.

The church pictured is Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The photos I am attaching are the Mt. Zion Cemetery a short walk away.

Is the address actually 116 W. Candler St?

are parts still available as available for old hand operated well pumps!

Ummm.... I'm not sure how this got "demolished" status - I pass it every day because I live 3 blocks down from it... so as of 11/05/2020 it's still standing (although I don't think it's used as a realty office anymore - nobody is ever around it).

Never understand that.

The barn was bulldozed and the remains were burnt in March 2012

Schoolhouse has been placed on new foundation and roof repairs are underway.

The owner of these apartments threatened to kill me after I walked from his driveway taking pictures of the East Falls. After insulting my intelligence, and verbally attacking me.

My father Oran P "Olie" Baumgardner and his friend Tony Gaston were the last people to work on engine #1147. They made it ready for its new home. My father worked for the GN and BN for almost 45 yrs all the time in Wenatchee, WA. He retired around 1968. He passed away in 1987.

Attached are pictures of Perly's (Formerly the Investment Realty Company Building) buit by Henry Carl Messerschmidt in 1930 (a contributing building), and the Sydnor & Hundley Building built in 1931 by Carmeal & Johnson These two structures are on the far edge of the district, and have an Art Deco design.

All pictures are my own work and were taken in 2019 shortly before COVID made it impossible to take. I, grant permission for these photos to appear on this site.

Hello. I ran across what looks to be the remains of an old bridge. Only the deteriorating cement is left along the banks as far as I can tell. It's just East (upstream) of the Cumberland Rd bridge over White River.

This barn collapsed in late August; the area is now empty.

Pics of house

i own this land and there is absolutely no access.

You live in California and your greatest worry is exploding trees?

The accurate address is 229 W Riddle Ave. 299, and St. are incorrect.

This isn’t the Bellefonte Academy. It burnt down in 2004.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellefonte_Academy

Quite a lot of loonies posting in the forum of late.

Lodging? That's what Google Maps says...

If so, call me at 404-543-8202.

My name is Mark.

Please put the actual address of the church somewhere. The address is very hard to find. Someone might like to actually donate to the church, and this would be the only way to send anything to the church. Thank you.

These horrible trees are literally a threat to our lives. The Eucalyptus is a fire bomb. There is only one way out of our neighborhood, we suffer from regular wild fires. If an historic landmark is more important than our property and lives then I have lost faith in mankind. It’s just mean.

fun fact, the slug bug in the picture is still there

There are many photos available of the two Rose homes. Robert H Rose at 3 Riverside and brother Edward L Rose at 5 Riverside drive. Attached:
