Sam Davis Home in pictures

The Sam Davis home is one of the more well known historical sites in town, and I have come across some historical aerial images from the 40's you might find interesting

***CLICK IMAGES TO SEE THEM IN FULL SIZE***



This first image is from Google and give you a basic idea on how it looks today from the air.


This image was taken in June 1941 and the photographer was with the 108th Observation Squadron. [link] One thing to note is the lack of the 4 cabins on the right of the buildings and property.


This image and the next one were both taken in Nov 26 1947 and are in the Dept. of Conservation Photograph Collection. [link][link]



What I like about this one is that it shows a lot of the area behind the Sam Davis home. Where there were fields there are now homes and businesses.
