From: "Collin Brendemuehl"
In the early 70s I helped my dad & a local pastor tear down an old
farm house. These things often contain hidden treasures. Because
insulation was not used as much in the early 20th c., newspaper was
the cheap and readily available alternative. We found a bunch of NY
Times of the Lindbergh landing. Lots of other miscellaneous goodies
as well.
Many a treasure, a lot of valuable history, is lost to the
bulldozer.
Sincerely,
Collin Brendemuehl
It's a shame really.
Most places now-a-days have a local Habitat for Humanity group who can
send a crew out to disassemble old buildings like that and salvage much
of the materials for re-use. It may take the property owner a bit longer
to get his lot cleared, but the long term benefits of going that route
are considerable.
And that's not even counting the tax deduction you get for your
"charitable donation".
