The tall building to the left in the first picture is a water tower. There is a large cypress water tank on the third level that used to provide domestic water and feed a fire suppression sprinkler system for the large home that used to be on the property. The building on the right is a carriage house with one box stall and 6 straight stalls. I restored that building about 10 years ago.

The building in the second picture is called the Gas House. It originally housed an acetylene collector to provide gas for lighting throughout all buildings (think carbide lamp). I formed and poured a new foundation for it and had it moved to its current location. I am restoring the building now.

All these buildings were built in 1892. The property was abandoned in the '70's and vandals burned the house in the late 80's.

Thanks for the comments.
