Offices, workshops:
Abe Preston's doctor's office was next to ... um ... the Preston house on Main Street. Story was, the people at Indiana University were originally curious about the contents of the little office, which was just cluttering up the runway for years. When the thing was dismantled and sent to Bloomington, it just cluttered up the runway there for years.
Eventually all the stuff went away, and IU people shrugged and said they didn't know what happened to the office, or its contents.
This would be Bob and Lois Preston's actual house.
The shed was also fascinating because it was once the workshop of fabled bootmaker M.H. Thurston. His actual time in town isn't clear, but he did have an ad in the paper in 1854, suggesting he wasn't in Fairfield at the time. He was likely there about 20 years later.
Ned's actual house being taken apart.
Howard Snider had a woodworking shop next to an office next to his house.
Story was, the Quonset hut was moved. No idea why.
This was Howard's actual house.
This is what our school looked like after a couple of years
of being closed and abandoned.
It was taken apart and became somebody else's shed.
