Behind the garage apartment there was a house. About 50 yards in front of that was a small feed shed and chicken coop. And across the slave ditch there was a very old house. There was also a wooden bridge for access to the main house. There was a small shed and a water cistern on the east side of the garage apartment about 8ft up on a platform. Behind that was a Dipping vat for the Cattle. There was a very large barn to east of the working pens that had a storage room in the middle of it. http://history.brazoriaresearch.com/2012/11/21/to-be-demolished#c2669 Ron Strybos [Visitor] in response to: To Be Demolished Wed, 01 May 2013 16:38:37 +0000 Ron Strybos [Visitor] c122@http://history.brazoriaresearch.com/ Good job on the write up Ron Livingston. When I worked at Stratton Ridge I was always saddened when Dow ordered the destruction of the old buildings; first the old barns, and now the old houses. A little bit of additional info, other slave cabins were still partially standing to the north of the house on the far side of the slave ditch as late as 2004. The overseer's house stood on the south side of the road and little to the east of the house. We found the foundations when we set a utility pole back in 2006. The well in the front of the house was once surrounded by ox blood lillies of which I now have some. Too bad about the old buildings; they where well built. They have withstood many hurricanes. http://history.brazoriaresearch.com/2012/11/21/to-be-demolished#c122 Theresa [Visitor] in response to: To Be Demolished Fri, 15 Feb 2013 10:11:59 +0000 Theresa [Visitor] c119@http://history.brazoriaresearch.com/ These things sadden me. Sometimes our historic buildings seem to be taken for granted. TO bad more time/effort couldn't have gone into saving them. Photo documentation prior to demolition was hopefully done.
