Old
church, built in 1880, Niagara County. CharlesB writes 'No denomination stated – signs
were removed – asked occupants of nearby house and they told me “protestant”.
Not in bad shape. Rather large for a rural setting, also a substantial
wing – parsonage and/or church hall." and "Back boundary is a corn field, could
not find a “handyman”, but notice the new hose by the doorway to the basement –
someone is making an effort to keep the flowers watered, etc. though abandoned,
not neglected yet."

Intersection of NY Routes 263 and 78, Erie County; small old gas station/repair
shop. When opened it was on a sparsely traveled 2-lane highway, semi-rural
setting and now the road is a 4-lane highway amid suburban sprawl. It is very
busy and one of the main commuter entry and exit routes into the City of
Buffalo. Note unique roof, in the photo below.

Village of Royalton, Niagara County, Gasport Road, to Royalton Ravine County
Park trailhead. CharlesB writes that "These homestead ruins are set
way back in a truly wild area. Which makes it odd that Belva Lockwood, born
in the house in 1830, became someone of notoriety. She was the first woman
to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court. She was also the first woman
to run for President of the United States – first in 1884 and again in
1888. It is 1.1 miles from the trail head. It couldn’t have been easy going
to and coming from her home in 1830." CharlesB had to cross a 195 foot
wooden suspension bridge (see photo below) at 0.8 miles to get to these
ruins, and there are ravines in back and front of me and a swirling creek
below. Charles also writes "Belva was the nominee of the Equal Rights
Party. You can learn more of her at the National Women’s Hall of Fame Web
site www.greatwomen.org."
