RE: RE:Return to the Unexpected privy...UNDER BUILDING!

When we were leaving todays dig, Laur spotted a building that has long fascinated me, and all the more shame that it's abandoned and neglected, because if it was in a better neighborhood, it would make a really great home, in my humble opinion...

Here's a few pics of it.

Anyhow, a few years back (about seven) [:)] Tom and I dug some great old glass not far from here, and at that time I really wanted to get underneath here! This is long before all these crawl digs we've had over the last few years... In fact I think I'll pop over to the Sanborns and see when this thing came on the scene! Possible future dig? We'll see...Thanks for looking everyone.

It looks like "W. Mc. G. & Co." Anyone know what that signifies?

Hey Joe,

It's that darned "C" or "G" thing again. I'm with Bob on this one McCully, Pittsburgh all the way. See Figure 3.

Lauren is looking the picture of fasionably attired diggers. All she heeds to accesorize is the Hershovel. [8D]

Thanks for the addition of pictures of Fred's lamp reunited, and the closing ceremony inks.

Another unique Bradford enclosed digging adventure in the books. Thanks y'all.

I have the same lamp minus the metal piece. I dug mine in a privy so it prob rotted.
Cool lamp I want to get mine working. Nice stone ink to Reds

It is cool. WTG, Fred. I wondered if it could be made to work again. This one did come out of the privy. The area where I dug the inks was under a crawlspace in the same building.

I know what you mean about the cats, Rick! My friend, Rach, said this one's name is Desmond[:)] I think that building is cool as hell. I also think it has a vibe to it, like there's some residents still lurking [;)]
