Q

Kudos to tikicleen and the drunken hat for sharing in your research and photos over the past few months. Driving past the old place in Pollardville nearly every day for many, many years, it seemed so incredibly sad to see it decay through time. It seemed so much more impressive as a memory than to see it now. I would like to think that someone would purchase the building, relocate and restore it to its former glory, but I would venture to say that it is way beyond repair since it has been left to rot in Pollardville for 20 years. Thanks to you guys, at least there is some history to savor and remember here.

On a related note, a couple of years ago I ran into an antiques dealer in Clements that said he was talking to someone from the valley who was compiling Islander photos and artifacts for a book on the subject. Was that you guys? Just wondering....
