Old Limerick grist mill
foundations
Comment: Mike C. writes "This picture is of
the foundation of the old grist mill that sits on the west bank of the Perch
River about one hundred yards north of the State Route 180 bridge in Limerick,
right next to the Limerick Falls. I believe the mill stopped operating
sometime in the mid-1800's." |

Abandoned house by
the Ashcraft Pond
Comment: Lida P.
writes: this house "is on the Bear Town Road, town of Croghan, next to Ashcraft
Pond. The town of Croghan historian, Jack Sweeney, told me it used to belong to
a man who raised bullfrogs in the pond, for sale to restaurants that served
frogs legs. The snakes moved into the house and it was abandoned. Interesting
bit of rather scary history!" |

Old school house on the
Third Road near Beaver Falls
Comment:
Jack W.
writes: "The school on the third road belongs to John Honer, my neighbor, he is
father Foster Honer bought it when Beaver River was centralized. Fosters
intentions were to retire from faming and raise heifers. Pasturing them in the
summer on the Black River flats where he had a camp and could live and fish and
watch his livestock. The School house was to be his winter home. Unfortunately
fate had other plans. He died a young man." |

Old farmhouse on Route 12 between Alex Bay and the TI Bridge
Scannerman originally took shots of this house that I posted
here. I liked the buildings so
well that I went back a year later and took higher resolution photos. |

Comment:
Scannerman quips: "I wonder
how many thousands of cars go by this poor old house every day and if anyone
ever thinks about the people who lived and died there? Sad." |

Taken on 04/03/07 Ruins of an old barn, on Route 12 North, a few miles north of Watertown
near corner of Reed Road. Comment:
From Eric H.: "It was the Glen Park Village Clerk,
Mrs. Hoard, who first told me that those foundations belonged to Jacob Brown's
brother John. After that I found the following from
Shirley Farone's page, as taken from the Pamelia "Town History from Child’s
Gazetteer of Jefferson County, N. Y. (1890)": 'Smith Scoville located here
before 1811, and afterwards opened a hotel [the hotel is the stone house that
stands on the southwest corner of Route 12 and Military Road--my maps actually
list that crossroad as "Scoville Corners" - Eric]. John Brown came from
Brownville in 1812 and built the first frame house in the southeast part of the
town.'
The 1864 map of Pamelia shows a "T. Brown" at the approximate location of the
foundations, but the building appears on the opposite side of the road. (It also
lists the Scoville Hotel as the "J.H. Davenport Hotel"-- I wonder if there is
any connection to the Davenport Hotel in Copenhagen?)" |
