When my sister and I wandered next door, she would always invite us in to visit. I was pleased to read that she lived to be over 100 years old.<br /><br />Dick JoyceDick Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06719604589922007236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945719747276028760.post-38508177290822645832019-11-05T15:33:36.590-05:002019-11-05T15:33:36.590-05:00Yes, I'd love to see them!!!

If you look at a recent image of the Graves Road area, the location which was once the Peoples Barn and house is now occupied by a couple of houses in the new subdivision. I drove by there a couple of years ago when I was back in Delaware for a high school reunion and it was sort of depressing. <br /><br />Dick Joyce Dick Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06719604589922007236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945719747276028760.post-62765463595350662062019-01-07T15:59:35.756-05:002019-01-07T15:59:35.756-05:00Thanks, Eric.

However, in looking at the old aerial pictures (see comment below), there was what appears to be a house and barn on the west side of Loveville Road, just south of Wembley Road. It doesn't appear on any of the 19th Century maps, but it does look like there's a dot there on the 1904 topographic map. The aerials show it there in 1968 but gone by 1982. My guess is that the wall is from one of those structures. I'm not sure who owned the property back then, but it looks like it would have been a part of the original, larger Ford tract.Scott Palmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945719747276028760.post-20918900713575490552019-01-06T00:35:22.221-05:002019-01-06T00:35:22.221-05:00Interesting article!

Not sure if you have ever used the site, but I use Historic Aerials website for some background research before I metal detect a spot I have permission on. It has aerials back to 1937 and topographicals sometimes into the 1800's. Good to use for precise building locations or general info. Shame they dug this place up (probably graded it) and built over top of it, doubt I would get permissions out there.

It is best noticed this time of year when the foliage is dead.henfeathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13753953333951194343noreply@blogger.com
