Greene County Pennsylvania Mail Pouch Barns

I came across a website today from Greene County, Pennsylvania about the mail pouch barns in that county. It's great with descriptions, as well as photos of the Mail Pouch barns there. I was looking through the photos that I have so that I could find some history on the barns that are in The Fred Yenerall Collection. It a great website that they have on the barns. Their website also gives history about the barns and about one of the more prominent mail pouch barn painters of the area.




The information that I have on these photos are taken off of the slides that my grandfather wrote after he took the photos. He was great about marking each slide very clearly, with the description, as well as the date, and location of the slide. This slide was marked "Mail Pouch Route 21 W of Waynesburg Greene County April 1978". The full size image of this barn can been seen here.



This barn I was unable to find on the Greene County Website, the information that I have on it says "Mail Pouch Barn Route 21 W of Rodgersville Greene County PA Sept 1978". This is the full-size photo of that is part of my collection. I have looked over the Greene County site, and couldn't match the photo. Does anyone know any history on this barn? Is it even still standing?

This barn was taken in 1979 and is located on route 18 North of Freeport. It can be seen here full size. This is another one that I am unable to match up the photo on the Greene County website.

The Fred Yenerall Collection has more Mailpouch barns from not only Greene County, but other counties around the area. As we learn more history on the barns, we will be updating the website, with the historical facts on each barn.
