Saving a relic of a different kind

[creskol]

[FONT=&quot]Started this project today. The goal was (is) to save this old one room doctor's office and move it out of the trees that had grown up around it, without destroying what's left of the [/FONT][FONT=&quot]structure or damaging the trees in the process. It is being moved to a different location on the property and will eventually be fully restored. The windows at some point were replaced, and will be taken out. It is plain and simple, but neat none the les[/FONT]s. It was last used as a storage shed, but has been neglected for 25 or more years.

Pretty cool creskol, now that's a country doctor. Do any old photographs exist to around the time it was originally a doctor's office? Here in my town they're doing a little to preserve the old historical sites. They just recently made a memorial of sort at the location of an early stage stop. It was a site I for a long time knew something was there by the few old quarried stones there and growth of cottonwoods once in the middle of nowhere, but now development is just going off the charts. I thought it was an old farm house site. It was called Waneka station, but now almost nothing is left of it, as this area was once later in time a pretty active coal region and my guess would be the early coal miners probably carded off most of the stone blocks to improvise for their own use. I did talk to one of the historians at the little museum and the thought of maybe resurrecting it could be a possibility someday. There's only one picture of it which looks like it was pretty well abandoned at that time.

Good point. You might just have another Goat Doctor treasure stashed all around there.

Very neat, creskol. I have visited a couple places in OH and MI where old buildings like this have been moved, restored, and little villages made out of them.
