There is also a collapsing barn behind the house. I could not get a good picture of the barn due to the large amount of brush and trees.

The house, barn, and farm buildings from the former Burt Johnson Farm. On Route 11 near the Super-WalMart and a Fort Drum gate.

Tim A. writes "This was originally the Norman Earl farmstead, built c. 1848. It was later sold to John Carpenter."

Closer shot of the silos.
The walls of the older silo on the right were hollow to prevent silage from freezing in the winter.

Some sort of structure for the mining process, Natural Bridge

Taken on 08/12/08
Very very unique. Some sort of crushing or smelting structure for mining. Right outside of Natural Bridge on Lime Street/Old State Road, originally mis-identified as part of the Carbola Talc Company.

Google satellite photo of this structure

From Paul: "This building is for ore storage it was filled by railcar with lime ore a conveyer took the ore from railcars and over the back wall of the structure at the top of the wall is a square notch where the conveyor sat the ore when needed was dropped through the floor into a mine shaft below the structure and taken again by conveyor to a crusher and made into lime."
From comac1103 (via Flickr.com): "How strange and yet it is just so cool."
From Gerica (From Natural Bridge): "Ok...This Was NOT Built By Carbola. That Is The Old Talc Mill...That Is My Hometown And I Should Know."
From Paul: "Gerica is right this structure was not owned by Carbola but this is an old lime mill not a talc mill. This is also my home town and a friend of mine owns the property."

Annie-Arnold-W. writes "My grandfather mothers first Husband; Charles Hungerford, son of Orville Hungerford, worked there during the time that it was lime kiln, he was also killed there during a blast." and "You stand correct this was not in any way part of Carbola Talc Company this kiln was in operation during the time when Natural Bridge was flourishing, during the time of F.C. Ullman Funeral Home and other places like the Central House later known as the Natural Bridge Hotel, would love to see more pictures of the past natural bridge, I have many to share also." Annie also writes "My grandfather Charles Arnold and also Charles Hungerford were killed in this lime kiln."

On 1/1/12 June Phillips Chrisman writes "My grandfather, George Phillips and my father, Asa Phillips both worked here in the 1920's."

Abandoned house by the Ashcraft Pond, Bear Town Road, town of Croghan

See some more photos of this house as photographed by Lida P., on this page. *Lida P. wrote of this house; [it] "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!"

Interesting old fireplace (?) across the road from previous

Jack S. wrote "Looks like one of George Rocks Shrines. I will check in near future."

Gail A. wrote "Blance Kronich built this fireplace so the men would have a place to bbq across the road from her house (with Warren Arnold). We hauled water from the handpump (near the fireplace) to her kitchen for heating on the woodstove. We had no indoor plumbing but did have electricity. Sure did help with the wringer washer. Written by Jr's wife, Gail."

On January 12, 2016 Lsoult writes "That looks like a catholic grotto to me. The usually put statues of the Virgin Mary in them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grotto"
