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."

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."

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?)"

Are there any old abandoned structures that you'd like to see here, then send me directions!  Or take a couple shots and send them to me.  Is there any additional info you can provide on any of these buildings?  Also send me any questions, comments, or corrections by clicking here.
