[AT] Duplex Truck Company - Update

[Mike]

Well, I took another look at the local property maps and something 
didn't add up. The township had not updated their website, and I knew a 
property split had occurred. So I went to the township office, and found 
out that the trust no longer owns the property. Ten acres had been split 
off, and 102 was bought up by a local farmer that farms around 3000 
acres. Drove to the farm and asked for one of the clan. Spoke to him, 
and he was aware of it, and thought he might haul it out for his father 
in law, but admitted he would probably never do it. So the story ends 
there, asked for permission and was denied, it will rot to death where 
it sits. Restoring something in bad shape like that would be a VERY 
expensive undertaking to say the least. At least I learned some history, 
but as a lover of old things it kind of breaks my heart.
