Hello Scott, I was able to open the link using both URLs Sorry to inform you, but I lived about 2 miles from the building in the picture. This was a round chicken house located within a half mile of Stockton, New Jersey, on Route 523 and was probably a couple of hundred feet above the railroad tracks that passed through Stockton. I appreciate your taking the time to look this up and sending the address. On another note, I failed to mention that my Father traveled to Lambertville from Flemington on the old Flemington Railroad that went by Copper Hill, Ringoes, and Bowne Station and thence to Trenton where he continued on to Philadelphia. So, no, he did not swim the Delaware at Lambertville! See attached for an overhead view of the round house. If they ask how to open the file, click on open with MSWord.

It fell into major disrepair and I thought it was torn down, but here's a Google satellite photo of the remains of a building that could fit the bill. If you "pull out" on the photo you can see exactly where it is. Here is the long URL and, if that gets battered in translation through the board, the short URL. Hope it helps!

For those who are not local, there's a fairly wide river in the way...the Delaware. Did he walk across the New Hope-Lambertville bridge, up a short incline, and catch a train at New Hope? That would have taken him across what today has been reopened as a tourist RR -- the New Hope and Ivyland RR -- which connects into what is today the SEPTA -- Southeast Pennsylvania Transportation Authority -- Warminster commuter rail line.

if you turn into the (Lambertville) Station parking lot, go all the way back to the Inn, go left around the Inn along the tracks, and those train buildings were back there sort of opposite the boat club building Nancy ~   Nancy Janyszeski Bucks County & Northampton History • BucksCountyHistory • Bucks County GenWeb • http://www.pa-roots.com/~northampton/ • http://www.nockamixon.us • PAGenweb • Spruance Library Bucks County Historical Society    * Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania http://www.genpa.org/ >________________________________ >From: Mr. Bill Hartman <mrbill1033@comcast.net> >To: Scott Tilden <swtilden@earthlink.net>; njhunter@rootsweb.com >Sent: Friday, November 18, 2011 12:06 PM >Subject: Re: [NJHUNTER] NJHUNTER "Lambertville" roundhouse > > > >Hello Scott, > >I was able to open the link using both URLs > >Sorry to inform you, but I lived about 2 miles from the building in the picture.
