I remember the impressive old stone house by the creek which served as an office. I see on Google maps that it appears to have been torn down. It's a shame, they don't build like that anymore.Mike in FLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-35634332114226845662011-09-27T07:54:26.373-04:002011-09-27T07:54:26.373-04:00patrick, i assumed it was the reichard fertilizer ...patrick, i assumed it was the reichard fertilizer plant, which was on the current martin luther king road and is the property now for sale. it was serviced by the barber quarry railroad spur.

Out of sight...Shame on him. There's still an old unused empty electric meter on a 2 x 4 and an old transformer in Lehigh Parkway. These items easily could be removed by Weitzel. They're an eyesore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
