 Photo Tour of the Charles A. Bliley Farm, Harbor Creek, PA.

1876 Atlas Etching

This page shows photos of the home of Charles A. and Mary Jane Bliley built in 1875 on Colt Station Road in Harbor Creek Township, Pennsylvania. Janice McLane, the owner in 1999, provided a tour for the builder's great grandson, Charles A. Bliley of Rochester, N.Y. These photos were taken on that tour. Three of the four major outbuildings were still standing in 1999. The left hand cow barn was demolished and is now provides the foundation for a house.
    The front of the house. Sorry; I should have taken this view in the morning. Please excuse the shadow!
