[N&W] N&W House

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

I am living in an older home built by the N&W Railroad many years ago. The 
home was originally sold to my grandfather, he worked for the N&W. The 
property is located in Chillicothe, OH. During some remodeling of the home, 
my father (who also worked for the N&W) discovered some very interesting 
things. The modeling boards were hand carved and several contained a label, 
still in tact, with the following information:
                                Norfolk & Western Railroad
                                Ship To: Delno, OH.

Also, several of the boards are signed, one name that was written on 
several boards is J. WILLIAMS.
For many years I have been trying to find out some information about my 
home. I would like to restore the outside of the home to it's original look.

I lease the property that home is located on from the N&S railroad. My 
address is 1506 Delano Road, Chillicothe, OH. 45601. If any can help me 
find out any information it would greatly appreciated. I am looking for 
photo's, dates the home was built, and any other historical information 
regarding my home.

My grandfathers name was Elijah Austin and he was the first person to own 
the home. Previously the home was rented from the railroad. This location 
was orignally known as Delano Crossing/Delano Station.

Sincerely,
B.E. Dunlap
