The stump with the poem carved into it is currently located in the lobby of the Ranger Station in Winthrop Washington. According to Harvey Manning in the 100 hikes in North Cascades hiking book the stump was moved to Early Winters Visitor center in 1980. Do not know when it was moved to Winthrop

Just adding a little info to my previous comment. John Dubuisson,my uncle, among other things was President of the Chamber of Commerce and involved in Urban Renewal in the early sixties. He was President at one time of Rotary, and I believe also had been in the Lion's Club. Dorothy was involved with the Fanny Battle Day Home and we caroled every Christmas Eve to collect for that cause. She also was president of the Gray Ladies (I think that was their name) volunteers at St Thomas Hospital. They were members of the Richland and Belle Meade Country Clubs. Mr Neuhoff was on the boards of some banks. He built the first stacked car park in Nashville. He had a meat packing business and was famous for the spiced round that was popular at Christmas. His valet Myzell lived at the home and accompanied him on trips. When in town Myzell served as house keeper and cook. Dorothy belonged to a garden club and was busy with her garden in the spring and summer. They gave money for the chapel at St Thomas... as I recall at first it was a new chapel in the old St. Thomas, and then for the new, modern one at the new location. Upon Dorothy's death I gave both John's and Dorothy's portraits to the hospital. Dorothy had two sisters who were Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. I think their names were Sr. Henrietta and Sr. Helen

Growing up in Nashville my name was Frances Laurentia Fossick. My mother was well known as writer, organist, choir director, and piano teacher. Her name was Eleanor Dubuisson Fossick.

Hello,

I am looking for a photo of the route 9 Mail Pouch barn taken from the Bike/walking path. I’m from St C and really miss the bike path but especially that barn. I’m into painting now and would love to paint the barn. Please, if any photos are available can you email them? Or text. ( 843-802-5131)

We’ve lived in SC (near Hilton Head) for 10 years.

my grandfather Leonard Berryman was the person donated this train to the city of Wenatchee.

Built by Joseph Cloyd son of David and Margaret Campbell Cloyd, my 9th gr grandparents. Who are the current owners of Back Creek Farm?

I am trying to compile a history of ownership of the property. Thank you

Craftsman Style. Originally brown...never white.

According to legend, Beverly had a hidden room, the purpose of which was to house Napoleon if he could be kidnapped. Which he wasn’t, so it wasn’t needed. If it existed.

The Lowther Family lived here for almost a year, 2003. All the photos in the Historic documents for this home show our home furnishings. We rented it for $3,000 a month, it seemed a beautiful place to live for awhile, but it brought us nothing but bad luck, including divorce within ten months of moving in. We all eventually made it back to California. The home was unsettling when you were there alone, definitely haunted, creepy, and a somewhat dark history, which I just read about. No privacy, too isolated, encounters with deadly desert creatures, including a giant centipede, a Gila monster, and a giant owl living in the courtyard tree. A strange, sad and lonely home. . .

This boat is not located here anymore, and actually located in Louisana now.

I forgot to say Sarah McSpadden Crookshank was the child of Samuel and was mentioned in his will. Im getting too close to 70yo! When I was a child, I receieved the app paper for the Daughters of the American Revolution, I remember my Grandfather telling me it was something good but at eight I promptly lost it. Thanks again.

My 2or3Xgreat-grandmother was Sarah McSpadden that married William Crookshank. They lived in Jonesborough Tenn. My grandfatherJess Crookshank moved to Mounds, Ok. but kept the family home located in Tenn with the family. His brother John lived there until his death. Ive just found out about this connection and havent studied it much. Any information that someone would like to send would be welcomed. ginafreeman@earthlink.com Thanks!

The first 7 pictures are of the old train stop f.n.a. 'Grotto'. It's where passengers would disembark and spend time along the Piney Creek and local area attractions.

This house has been reported elsewhere as destroyed. I can assure you it is not nor the companion servants house. Both are still occupied by descendants

My wife and I will be there on the 22nd of June. I am a 2nd cousin, 6th generation removed of James Buchanan Eads. Could I get any information available to find out about his birth place. Last year we visited all his Mississippi river stops. I do have a lot of information I can share with you. My address is 3250 so. 54th st., Milwaukee, Wi. 53219. Would be nice to get any information ahead of time for my research. Thank you so much for your time. Charlie Eads.

Former railroad stop on the old Dayton, Lebanon & Cincinnati railroad. This railroad ran the high ridge between the Little Miami River & Great Miami River and was said to have been the only railroad serving Dayton, OH that was not affected by the 1913 Flood. Passenger service stopped in 1934. Tracks removed in 1979.

The Adams Store was a two story brick building built at 208 Elm Street by the Adams family as a grocery store for the packing house workers who lived in the neighborhood of the plant. The Adams family moved their business to another part of town and only then did Rath Packing buy the store building to use as an annex to the Administration Building. In the photo above you can only see two windows of the old store at the left hand side.

This landmark is in Montgomery County, PA, not Lycoming County.

718 E. Wells St. is the Henry Manschot House built in 1874. The architect was Charles A. Gombert.

The registration form submitted to the NPS has this to say about the house:

"The Manschot House is an excellent example of an Italianate style residence. It is three bays wide, two stories high on a raised basement and has a low hipped roof and bracketed cornice with a center pediment. It is constructed of cream brick with brick quoins at the corners of the main block. The windows have segmental tops with stone sills and hood molds inset with incised keystones. All masonry surfaces are painted green. The principal alterations include the replacement of the original main entry with the present Colonial style door and fanlight and the removal of the front porch in 1955.

"Henry A. Manschot was a successful butcher with his shop on Market Square. He had succeeded to the ownership of Jacob Nunnemacher's butcher shop in the late 1860s after working there since the 1850s. His business eventually failed and after the death of his wife he sold the house in 1891. In the 1920s, it was occupied by Francis E. McGovern after he finished his second term as Governor of Wisconsin."

The form can be found on the NRHP website at:

Hi,

I'm researching my family tree, and I have records of my relatives living at 718 Wells Street, Milwaukee, on the 1880 census. They were William, Ann and Alois Stanton.

Is the pink building that stands there now the house that would have been there in 1880? Would it have been single occupancy? What was life in Milwaukee like?

Thanks :-)

Emma

Actually, not the only place called Only. There is an Only Missouri

This building is totally worth saving; it is a part of Elko's history

If wishes were dollars, I'd spend them all having this building restored, and open it for tours.

Thank you for this picture and the historic information about the Grange and this building. It is 102 years old and still an integral part of the Harpswell community.

DEN ADLER(not Don)wrote the article on the WSOR website.

The picture attributed to "Nyttend" for this landmark is not of the North Main Street Historic District. The picture is of the 100 block of Main St. and would be of the Henderson Commercial Historic District.

Your GPS coordinates are wrong: use: 38°37'17.49"N 84°18'21.00"W

Using Google Earth, your geolocation was more than a mile south of the landmark.

This is actually located in Washington County, PA, not Greene County, PA.

Sadly, I drove by this address, Fri.2/28/2020. This is gone! The parcel is void of all former structures.

It's still here. My home is the abandoned railroad station built around 1843-48 by the Iron Mtn Railroad. In its time it had a stable and a grainary and its driveway is what remains of old Potosi rd. It is believed Sam Hildebrand hunted down and killed 2 men on the property of which he speaks about in his autobiography.

House has been moved. I encountered many articles stating this fact, but I have only found one article stating where it is going and even then, it's unclear precisely where as there are no Google Map images showing it. The two addresses listed are Halliday Lane and 1733 State Route 41 Southwest, both in Washington, C.H. Both locations are very close to one another.

This is actually in Fayette County, not Fleming County.

This elevator was struck by lightening in July of 2018 and burned to the ground, ironically suffering the same fate of another elevator that was built at the same time, next to it. The elevator complex to the west of here, on the other side of the road, is still standing.

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.

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.

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.

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.
