Editor's Note: The exact location of this smokehouse could not be determined. A search of the tax property database did not provide an association between the address and the assumed owner Fermoil from the Roudabush Survey, since the name was not found on the past owner list of this property and other adjacent properties; therefore, there is no verification of this location. Any information on this structure and the location would be appreciated.
