Washington

For those of you who have "Heart of the Pines", what is your opinion of the photo on page 746? Compare it with the map on page 744. Is he trying to say that photo is of the ruins at this link?

The photo appears to show a foundation without the center wall seen on the foundation at the Washington stables that most are familiar with. His placement of the ruins on the map seems consistent with the know ruins. I wonder if the photo is a mistake or if there is another foundation. If I had to bet, I'd go with the former although his work in the book seems very careful and thorough.

I think that photo is an old picture of the cranberry packing house at Friendship. There are NO ruins at Washington that even look remotely similar to that. And in Beck's books, there is a picture of the ruins at Washington (the one with the center wall) captioned the "Pit Silo."

Yea...there is something wrong there.

I agree with Ben, the photo does look like the Friendship packing house. But now most of the side walls are gone.
