This house & buildings were razed to build I-81. This is located at the Bowman's Crossing exit-interchange. Chances are that Mr. Morrison wanted to capture this image, knowing it would change drastically in the near future. This would have been known as the Bowman Farm, with the Richman Farm just to the west. This is the same spot where Randy Kibler's Farm is today.
