I noticed the unusual roof of the north side of this building when I was looking at the empty lot from the spanish looking hotel like building on the other side of the tracks.

I found one article on the history of this structure.

https://www.therolladailynews.com/news/20160626/88-year-run-delano-oil-co-selling-gas-stations-stores-to-midwest-petroleum

This suggests that the warehouse may have been for a timber business by Jay Delano when he moved to the area about 1890. The company started a gas station in 1928. The business was sold in 2016, presumably the building was abandoned then.

I spotted this building on a drive through town a while ago, and tried to figure out what it was, why it was built, when it was built. I failed.

On a bright sunny day last summer I took some photos. The deep shadows caused me to switch my phone to HDR (high dynamic range) mode - but unfortunately I didn't tell it to NOT enhance the color. So while the green trees were bold, and the blue paint was bright, these photos exaggerate it a bit.

I'm glad I took those photos, because when I recently went through town the building location is flat, bare ground.

I'm really annoyed that I'm still finding zero information on the history!

They tore it down a few years ago. Only 2 chimneys left. Massive development in area now...terrible !

Picture above is of the new bridge. The original bridge that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places was demolished in 2001 after the new cable-stayed bridge was opened to traffic.

This actually just over the county line in Macon County, not Sumter County. The town of Andersonville is Sumter County, however.

GPS and address are correct, but this landmark should be in Clarke County, GA, not Sumter County.

Picture is terrible. Will fix asap

This is actually in the Independent City of Lexington and not Rockbridge County.

This landmark is actually in the Independent City of Danville, not Pittsylvania County.

In the mid 50s my parents owned this motel.

This is a duplicate.

Butte Daily Post Building was gutted by fire last night according to this story in the Montana Standard.

Sorry, it is called the Old Settlers Festival

Building is still in use during the Homecoming Festival.

Used to be coming into Bowling Green from the West end was a real treat: crossing the 2-span Eel river bridge, then seeing the Greeting sign. Unfortunately, the bridges are now gone and the sign has fallen into disrepair. The Festival still happens in mid-summer. Downtown looks like it might be making a resurge, with the excellent Pioneer Café opening. Let's hope the sign gets a refurbishing too!

This school shows up in a map of Washington County, dated 1910... but it does not show up in a map of 1878.

This school was still in use in the mid-to-late 1950s. My brother went to it. By 1960, when I started school, it was already closed.

GPS Coordinates are not accurate.

The correct coordinates are

39°25'31.2"N 77°48'46.2"W or

39.425322, -77.812835

my 5th g-grandpa --- you are right, it is so cool to find these connections.

This is located in St. Louis County, not St. Louis City.

This Drive-In and the Cinema 67 in Owen Co are about 20 miles apart, both on IN67. Have been to both numerous times, as a kid and with my kids.

This is now a private residence.

My father Milton Thomas Calliham’s family owned the Calliham Plantation. All of his brothers and sisters were born there. My father was born in Gleason, Tennessee in 1897. Who owned the plantation after his grandparents left the area? I would like to learn more, thank you.

The armory is now used by the local school system.

Excellent job of restoring this beaut. It was saved from destruction on Christmas eve 2011. $5.00 entry for new movies, lots of free movies, too.

This landmark was torn down by the city of Wellsburg, WV in early December 2019.

Attached is a local TV station reporting the story...

Going back to Wagoner?

The HABS picture shown for this entry is not the correct picture for the Jackson County Courthouse listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

My school friend Jessie O'Brien lived down the street from me in Langhorne, PA, before her family moved to London Purchase Farm in New Hope, PA. I knew it was an historic property but had no notion of its value or story. We were convinced there were ghosts there, of course. It was a beautiful place.....but far beyond my family's means...which I knew, but until this moment didn't really grasp...my goodness! It certainly sheds new light on what can happen if you found a company in an entirely new business, as Jessie's father had. Sigh. We didn't just move away from each other, but moved apart as friends, and I didn't know why....but the change in that family's (literal) fortunes obviously accounted for a lot. I often wonder what happened to the James O'Brien family. In a way, it hurts. But if anyone knows, I'd love to find out.

I would love to see this. I am a direct GA descendant of William Blackstock on my grandmother's side.

I believe the photos shown are of the wrong building. The building shown is the newer masonic lodge, up the street northward. I attend tango classes at 3220 Federal, and while yes it is the old masonic lodge, it does not look at all as shown. A picture of the actual building at 3220 Federal is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highlands_Masonic_Lodge . The tango classes are run by Gabriela Carone (www.gabrielatango.com), and I believe she now owns the building.

While the address and GPS Coordinates are correct, this landmark is actually in Cuyahoga County, not Lake County.

Not a Fire Station-a Fire Lookout Tower

This is actually in Summit County, OH, not Cuyahoga County, OH.

I added your photo to the profile, credited to you.

This mansion was subsequently owned by Samuel McConnell, Furnaceman, and later the property and residence of Joseph Frantz, Grocer.

The HABS pictures shown above are of the original Knox County Courthouse located in Niobarra, NE and was razed in 1976. That courthouse is not the courthouse which is located in Center and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

has been removed / destroyed / rotten

Depot is very good shape. Interior original components (waiting benches, ticket office, etc. are intact.

Worked there in the mid 70s when it was the Parkview House Restaurant. The place is definitely haunted. Saw some really weird and creepy stuff.

Is this one of the buildings that will be demolished for the new Crew Stadium?

This is no where near Meeker. Meeker isn't near either of these roads. Please update.

Sorry -- Whenona Drive. Also Manitou Way. Thanks.

Please correct to Mohawk Drive & Whenona Way. Thanks.

Samuel was my 6th great grandfather. this is very cool to find these historical landmarks from my ancestors

OK, slight correction to my last comment. As I stated before, it connects Pinellas and Manatee Counties, but it does go across an extremely small portion of Hillsborough County, which is all water and the main shipping channel under the bridge.

This bridge is not in Hillsborough County. It connects Pinellas County and Manatee County.

Is this property still for sale and is it still in a half finished state?

September 2019: Walls of pond are intact as is unique circle structure of the fountain. There is recent evidence of graffiti and I have seen pictures online of people standing on top of fountain circle. Some cracks on it were observed. Would love to see some effort to formally preserve this unique structure.

I'm glad to see that this building is still standing. Earlier this year it was declared unsafe and subject to demolition by the local authorities. The roof has collapsed as seen in an aerial photography accompanying this article in Montana Standard. The building is an outstanding example of 1880s cast iron architecture.

The Joshua Bates School,has functioned as an Artist Building

for more than 30 years. It is designated affordable artist rental

Studios by the city of Boston.

Picture I took 20 years ago. I went in it but regret I didn’t take pictures.

Most likely built by slaves. Nancy Jones owned 17 slaves listed in the 1850 Slave Schedules. At that time she ran a tavern in the house.

Is the facility open for rental or use at this time? I am a member of Gamma Chi Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. This is a graduate chapter of professional African American women who provide community service to the Morgantown and Northern West Virginia Communities. I am interested in the history of the building and how it can better serve the community with my Sororities help. Gamma Chi Omega is currently celebrating her 75th Diamond Anniversary. We have been in the community a long time. I eagerly await your response.

Spoke with a landowner in the immediate area, he does not remember ever seeing this building. He said it has been 60-70 years since he has been in the area.

Does not exist, been gone for quite some time it seems. Spoke with a business owner, he said he doesn't even remember it.

The Thompson-Fasbender Mansion was engulfed in the early morning hours of December 14, 2017. The five alarm fire severely damaged the house. No one was injured. The owners of the house, Pam and Dick Thorsen, were on the first floor and escaped. The upper floors were unoccupied. Cause of the fire was reported to be a malfunctioning switch in an upstairs boiler.

On December 14, 2017, the house was engulfed in flames.

A series of dramatic photos of the fire, now added to the listing, were taken by Marta Tierney of KDWA radio in Hastings and used with her kind permission, including the photo with this post.

The house is currently for sale. The owners, Pam and Dick Thorsen, are offering the house for sale and point out that is eligible for historic tax credits and grants which could aid in the restoration.

The coordinates are wrong. It's supposed to be 40.729934, -74.066475

Knew nothing of this beauty until July 5th, 2019 while headed to The Dutchman's Store in Cantril, IA. This structure rises from a bean field as if it was a castle. On the way home I snapped some pics, and used to create 2 Pen & Ink & Watercolor images. A truly incredible building. Last I hear, it's for sale; $50,000.

Hi,

Sorry to say, this is incorrect. Coe Mound is several miles north of this photo, in a restricted and undisclosed location. The photo here is a pile of dirt at Clinton-Como Park, used as a sledding hill by local kids and originally formed by leftover dirt from a sewer project.

OK, so I was wrong again. It's actually in Spencer County.

I made a mistake and this should actually be in Nelson County. I have sent a note to the "Webmaster" so they can correct for me.

I lived in the house next door to water tower, and across street from slaughter house, remember some nasty winters

Does anyone know if the Springhouse is still standing? Is it possible to visit it?

Do you know of any other historic sites relating to the Chenoweths in the general Louisville area?

Thank you for your help,

Jane Thoman

My grandmother, Josepha Hodges, was born in that house in October, 1899. Her father, Joseph Hodges (my great grandfather) was married to Minnie (my great grandmother), and he died before Josepha was born. Minnie later married Edward Brown and they had three daughters, Anglessia, Naioma and Edith. Edith's son, Harold Brown lives in a nursing home in Martinsville. My mother, Tronette Isenhower Hetts, fondly remembers spending summers in the Paragon house. My grandmother, Josepha, married Tron Isenhower from Martinsville and they divorced. She then married Bernard Guettier and they owned the house in the late 1940's and early 1950's. I have a photo of the house when it was red brick with painted white shutters. My mother is still living at age 96 1/2.

Building burned down in 2008 :(.

I believe I’m the only person born in the Dr. Lewis Barret house. My mom Lucy Crain gave birth to me on 16 June 1956 in the great room facing Caldwell St. I currently possess the bronze plaque from the United States Dept. of the Interior placing it on the National Register of Historic Places.

I was out in my 1928 Model A ratrod and found this hotel.It "Sparked" my imagination. I loved it! I would love to get permission to explore it and ghost hunt it.

The through truss bridge carrying Main Street over Rock Creek east of Joliet has been replaced by a concrete pre-stressed bridge. The through truss bridge is still intact but is sitting on a property behind some trees next to the main highway at the north end of Joliet.

The Baldwin building no longer exists. All that is there is a vacant lot that is "For Sale". However, stamped in the sidewalk in front of where the building used to stand is "Baldwin Lumber Co." The only reminder of what used to be there.

The depot burned down after a lightning strike today:

My husband and I have been riding by this house all of our lives. We have said in recents years how much we would like to come see it and even walk around the property. He read somewhere that George Washington stayed overnight here. We would just like to say what a privilege it must be to live here or have access to this beautiful and historic home.

It's sad this house was demolished!

When is the Alexander Ewing House open for visitors and tours?

Burton Brothers Hardware Store was Damaged by fire on Nov 12, 2012. Demolished in the summer of 2013.

At this time, May 2019, it appears like the whole building is abandoned and being extensively renovated

The Tallassee, Mt.Vernon Mill, did not close in the 1960's. It closed around 2009. My grandfather, Dallas H. Golden, was a supervisor in that mill. He worked there his whole life until retiring at age 65.

I lived in this house around 1955. I went to the 1st grade in a one room school in Lost Creek. Lived there the local bank was robbed!

Please share your photos!

I owned this house, restored it and lived in it for twelve years. We sold it in 2005 in sound condition, now looking awfully shabby. It looks like someone is installing a new roof. Nice to see this after 25 years. I have much better photos than these. Want them?

Good to hear! In my experience, getting good accurate information about Georgia's NRHP sites can be difficult!

The Patterson-Turner Homeplace has not been demolished. It was moved across Smith McGee Rd and sits further off the road than before.

The mill is under construction and will be a brewery and restaurant in 2019.

The mill has been totally demolished and the water tower is the only structure that is left at the location.

That's just sad. I haven't made that drive since I took the first pic.
