One Room Schoolhouses

DANGIT I forgot pic of almost matching 1800s schoolhouse down the road.

As for nails. I saw trim nails, round nails, screws and some older spots that were hard to see but dare I say were possibly square they were up high on the trim. It literally looks like hodge podge.

THERE is a 1860s foundation within 220 yards. That has been all dug around and behind. By what looks to be 70s diggers. Frustrating I was saving that for if this was too new.

you got a remodel on your hands... no tracks or old factories near by? from what you have shown I would keep an open mind about it still... time to figure out who put that thing there

 

[cyberdigger]

There might be a couple Edison Battery Oils lying around.. [8|]

In between that 225 yards is one of the oldest main highways around. Maybe a small church? Maybe a stop station for travelers that the homeowner across highway ran?

Why would a utility bldg have a chimney??? maybe it is not a utility bldg at all........

Maybe to ventilate a generator motor?

Then it would have a vent, not a chimney, ductwork metal something like that, not masonry, chimneys are for high heat like cooking or heating stoves.......

I dont think ya would need a coal chute inna utility bldg, sounds like heating for a cold winter, so people had to be there more time then a utility bldgs use would suggest, so try digging in one of the back likely spots and see what turns up......

Next day I can slip out there I plan to dig at least 2 suspect spots.
