N&W menus

[NW Mailing List]

Gordon, I'm impressed, how do you know about Lauderdale?  

The N&W images I've seen were B&W or colorized and appear to have been
reversed.  The lane to the right goes to the dairy actually located to the
left.  Quite the sensation in the neighborhood when built, the home sported
a brick two-holer out back. Milk was hauled by wagon to Lithia and loaded
on the train for Roanoke.  Ironically, the Valley Railroad was to have
passed just back of the barn.
