Update on The Ruins - The Mystery of SC

The Ruins: News Update from facebook and Friends

Dianne Espy informed CCC News that her friend, Steve Curtiss, was the gentleman who carved his initials into the stone foundation. Look for an updated story on Monday once we get the chance to sit down and chat with Steve. Many folks on facebook also had the following interesting facts to add about the ruins. 

-Johnny Culley “In the 70’s there was a dark haired heavy mustached guy living there. I believe he worked on the RR. Nice guy and drove a vintage truck.”

-Dianne Espy “I believe you are referring to a friend of mine, whose initials are S.C. I know he lived there for awhile and he has a handlebar mustache. He might be the one who did that concrete. I am waiting to hear back from him about this.”

-Robert Slaughter “yes s.c. lived there in the 80s when I was a kid helped move him out when it flooded, last I knew he worked at one of the retirement homes, and worked at the Aluminum plant when it flooded.”

Jim Roberts “From the photo it appears to be about 100 yards up the grade from the base (where it was in the 50's). As children, we used to pick peaches from the tree, on our way back from the free show at the Granada theater. This was from 1949 to 1952.”

Judy Bane “I was told that my uncle and his first wife lived in this house for a while, probably in the 40's. Maybe he was working for the railroad.”
