Henry Rifle Forums

A neighbor stopped by yesterday and gave me these pictures. I can recognize where they were taken and what the place looked like. The first picture looks east and I have the same view from my living room. The schoolhouse and the log cabin are still there.

Cool pics, I'm sure you'll frame them. I know I would. When we were looking for places in Oklahoma, we almost bought a farm with an 1800s farmhouse. The only reason we didn't was the crime / drug rates in the adjoining township. Well above the national average. Loved the house and property however.

Great photographs Gene. What a treat to have pictures of the place before your care.

I’m collecting pictures of everyone that lived here. I want to hang them in the staircase. This was one of the first stick built houses in the county. Most were still log cabins like the one in the picture. The schoolhouse was built in the 1920’s. Nearest I can tell this one was built in the 1880’s. The frame is haphazard with crooked studs that are at random spaces. It was completely gutted and reinforced. The back which was not original was torn down and rebuilt.
