A History Mystery Case from Lebanon Valley Historical Society

The Lebanon Valley Historical Society has a “history mystery” that they would like our help with. The society is trying to determine where the house in the picture below is located.

Apparently the house was shown on a couple of H. M. Gillet’s postcards from the early 20th Century. The Historical Society believes that it is still standing, but may no longer have the entire elaborate porch. They say to look for the square widow’s watch on the top, which should help identify the house.

If you think you know where in Columbia County, NY, this house is, tell the Historical Society by leaving a comment under the house’s pictures on their FaceBook page.
