Chapter 3 - Stepping Back In Time: Reynoldston, New York

My driving tour of Reynoldston was nearing its end when I spied this old cabin. Once again, it was not posted and I now wished that I had gone in to take a look:

When I took this picture, I thought this old home was being renovated. But now, looking more closely, perhaps they were just getting firewood delivered. Or both could have been true:

This photo was taken in 1932, one year after the Reynolds Brothers Mill shut down. The source of these old photos is here:

Another home which I though could possibly have begun its life as company housing:

Hey, this is the same house as several photos earlier. Oh well, here's another view of it:

And a nice home with lots of picture windows and a fireplace:

I didn't see any farms. These homes were apparently owned by folks who loved the forest. I'll bet there are lots of deer carcasses hanging from trees in deer season:

The eerily cold, gusty, snow weather continued, giving this driving tour a haunted feeling. You can see the snow in this photo, but it wasn't falling gently - it was moving nearly sidewise in the wind:

Reynoldston had some nice homes with big garages:

And big, two story homes with chimneys. In fact, nearly every home had a garage and a chimney. The winters here must be really difficult:

This was the last photo I took of Reynoldston as I drove out of town. It had been a long day and I was tired:
