Soop too (research 2)

I'm a Bit Lost on your Last request.
Are you talking on Top of the Rock Wall
by the Sign ?
or am I at the wrong place ?













the roads there have changed allot since 1938 as you can see.
and that the original Richard Street was lower & now part of a Rt 61 Widening. (see Richard Connected to Tumbling Run Road in 1938.
a Physical impossibility today if it was up by the Sign)






this looks interesting



however

but even that looks different on the ground


so sorry I have no Info on that or even any idea what that little Village was called.
If it had a Name.
Looks like the End of Richard street was very crowded at one time.

Here is a pic of 1 of the houses.....its actually on the other side down a little bit (not same side as welcome to pottsville sign)....its on the same side as tumbling run, about 25 yards or so before turn if traveling northboud

 

[soopacee]

My issue is, the pic says is was torn down because of 61....the house sites we saw sit back behind 61 about 30 yards maybe

 

[jeff of pa]

lets try this.

Area 1, 2, 3, or farther South ?

 

[jeff of pa]

this is the one in the 1 area ?

 

[jeff of pa]

October 1938 seems to be the Best old View available for me
if that is the one. click pic for close-up

 

[soopacee]

Its area 3.....there were 2 cellar holes in that area......ty for the aerial, will have to look at it on the pc

 

[soopacee]

Here is another pic i located, same house as before.....just a wider shot....not sure year

 

[soopacee]

In area 1, the closeup, its actually large rocks blocking the road/path....im assuming so motorized vehicles cant get through....i actually parked right there and had to climb over rocks

 

[jeff of pa]

LOL I never had so much Trouble trying to Place a Picture in the Right position
This is Driving me Batty.

I would Take it from your posts this is Facing East ?



Across the creek & rt.61 ?
& that that is the Mansion House (Mount carbon Hotel/Resort) in the Back round ?
only Problem with that I thought the Hotel was over where the Photographer would be standing to Take this Picture , south of Goodfellas

the Mountain in the Backround looks like the Mountains North, South, East & West of Mt Carbon. They all look alike





the Hotel August 21 1860 Just behind the tracks.



Anyway

here is the 1875 Atlas Map



the 1938 Aerial



There are Many Foundations that can be sen on the 1913 Tax site Aerial in the woods East of the Turn Table area If you like walking around.



Sorry I need to let my Mind Percolate & regroup. Perhaps Trying too Hard is causing
me to be confused I feel like Sheldon getting ready to look for a Ball Pit



Bazinga !

Awesome....your knowledge and research blows me away everytime😮.......as for the picture i posted, the first road going left is the road to mt cabon past goodfellas......the houses that sit on left side is now wiener iron....the first road goin right, no clue, not there anymore.....2nd road, in back, is tumbling run road

 

[soopacee]

Oh, and yes that is the hotel in backround.....gonna make it up there 1 day haha

 

[soopacee]

I am heading back there saturday, i will shoot a video with my phone just to give you an idea how close i am to 61, where i am near landmarks etc...

 

[jeff of pa]

OK so Something Like this Makes Sense

 

[soopacee]

Yeppers:-)

 

[soopacee]

Tried to get video, phone was actin goofy, but i got a pic to show you where it was
This is me standing right where the "cellar hole" is located, it is behind me.....first is the path, 2nd down is rt 61....in backround, faintly, is goodfellas, where yellow lights are

 

[soopacee]

The possible "cellar hole"

 

[soopacee]

Another cellar hole....broken bottles everywhere....old ones too

 

[soopacee]

And these would of, if not broken, lead from bottle hole up to the other hole
