PHOTO ID UPDATE: We have a clue about the Unknown Brick Building photo contributed by Ruth Sharp that ran in The Pocahontas Times October 22, 2015. Charles Oberly, of Ohio, called in and suggested that it might be the Power House at the old Tannery in Marlinton. He also thinks that the small building in the picture may be a hide shack. Maybe this will spark a memory! Please call B.J. at 304-799-3989 if you can help verify this.
