I wonder what the upright sign in the middle of the roadway (foreground) is. Odd.


The sign says.

The Smith's were probably important people in their town.
Is the bottom photo of a type of dormitory?

House is still there and has been under reno for a long time.....

While they were called cottages, clearly not and almost certainly were dormitories for the academy. Mercersburg Academy is still operating, too!

I believe such houses had broad and long porches like that, nicely roofed, along with those tall, wide windows, for the passage of air - breezes - to help with personal comfort during the warmer weather, in Pennsylvania as well as in The South.

I think a lot more of the southern mansions that looked like that were built after that "war of northern aggression".

That infirmary is a really great-looking building. Rufus, it is time for you to build a model of it.

I wonder if it is still there? If yes, I wonder if I can get close enough to it to take photos of all sides? I have very rarely modeled brick buildings.....
