Interesting Cellar Hole

[mike l]

Steve found an old home site on historic aerials and we did an early morning hike through the woods to find it. Saw a bunch of trees that were different from the rest of the woods and came upon the cellar hole. :drool: The foundation is cinderblock so its not too old but it did have a cool field stone 2 level fireplace. I was thinking 1950's? Lots of old bottles and a Pyrex insulator, patent date 1936. No old silver found :-\, but we had a blast checking it out :peace:. Happy Hunting :beerbuddy:

Your title to the thread is spot on. Very interesting. We have a 200 year old church (just slightly bigger than a large house) in town that has a cinderblock cellar. I asked the preacher how a 200 year old building could have that type of basement. He said that in the 1980s they actually raised the building and put in a new foundation.
If your fireplace was old I might suggest that the same thing happened at your site...but your chimney doesn't look super old.
Maybe it was built in the 1930s and burned down?
