Barriger Library Photos................

[NW Mailing List]

I've added some Columbus / Circleville area notes (as have others), and added google and other links where additional information was available. 

One reversed Circleville image has already been corrected (which initially had me mightily confused since the comment was written with the reverse orientation in mind). 

When were these photos taken? The Columbus photos appear to be within a couple of years of 1931 based on vegetation growth along the grade elimination work.

Bruce and I have added location notes to a quite a few of these photographs. Look in the comment section of each photo.

Am I missing something or if not would any of our historians be willing to apply their knowledge to provide some of this information?  I see markings indicating there may be as many as 140 of these shots and I for one would really appreciate the where/when and any other pertinent stuff.
