That might be a foundation, or it MIGHT be ground storage for loose cattle feed. Some bigger cattle farms use something like that. They dump it in there and use a front end loader to scoop it out.

It looks like and old foundation of a house. The white building looks like an old Bunk House.
The red one could even be an old mill.
Looks like a good place to hunt.

Yep I'm confident the red one is a Mill

It looks like in the old photo there is a covered bridge just up from that mill...... That certainly looks like a very good area to hunt!

 

[jeff of pa]

gone now

1875 Map shows it was a Grist Mill

Tax site says year Built 1855



and school on Map may be at the bottom of this pic




I'll need to search the county tax map next see owner & Maybe take a ride this afternoon

 

[jeff of pa]

hmmm owner of Mill property does not live there
so either empty or has live in's

same with School Property, I May know the owner, or 1875 school.
I know the name, but not the address he lives at according to tax records.
havn't seen him since 80's



just need to find out if he's the same one

well, I'll say that one's not the school



School maybe moved up the road & turned into cabin

date on this 1855
