wellfields31965.jpg726 viewsBARN AT LEFT WOULD BECOME THE SALT KETTLE THEATRE IN 1973. BUILDING BEING RAZED IS AN OLD SALT HOUSE BUILT ON THE SITE OF THE GEORGIA SALT FURNACE. IT WAS USED FOR STORING SACKS AND BARRELS WHEN IT WAS A SALT HOUSE. WHEN IT WAS NO LONGER USED AS A SALT HOUSE, THE TOP FLOOR SERVED AS THE MEETING PLACE FOR WILLIAM KING MASONIC LODGE NO. 227 FROM 1901 UNTIL A NEW MASONIC LODGE WAS BUILT IN DOWNTOWN IN 1949. THE BOTTOM FLOOR WAS USED BY MATHIESON.
THE BUILDING AT RIGHT IS THE OLD AXTON CROSS LOADING TERMINAL.

wellfields51973.jpg683 viewsTHE PONDS WERE LOW AND LOOKING RAGGED FROM ABOVE IN MAY OF '73. NOTICE THE SMALL PONDS WHERE THE SOFTBALL FIELD IS NOW LOCATED. THERE IS AN OLD WELL HEAD CLOSE TO SECOND BASE ON THE SOFTBALL FIELD. WE UNCOVERED IT IN 1978 WHEN WE GRADED FOR THE SOFTBALL FIELD. IT WAS COVERED BY A SQUARE PLATE. WE DROPPED ROCKS DOWN THE PIPE AND HEARD SPLASHES. WE PUT THE PLATE BACK OVER IT...COVERED IT AND FINISHED THE FIELD. NO BIG DEAL. Courtesy of Don Smith dsmith1043@comcast.net
