This house on Page Road is falling down, so that the wood used in the walls is visible. The mortar appears to be grouted. Between the windows on the south side, an internal column made of red bricks is visible. Its purpose in unknown. Roudabush Survey page 120
Editor's Note: The address of the structure can not be determined. Close inspection of a recent satellite view does not show any hint of the structure location.
This was the Butler-Post house on Page Road in the town of Perry as it appeared in the mid 1970s when it was in a very run down condition. It was built in the 1840s. It was built of field stones with a one-story wing. It was purchased by James Post from Lawrence Hurst in 1960 to add to his farm but was left vacant as it was too costly to repair. It was demolished in the 1980s. Richard Palmer blog.
