Stagecoach Lane, or Stage Coach Lane, or I believe it was also Birch Hill Road? has been closed for some years, but is still shown on many maps as connecting Haviland Hollow Road with the other end of itself up on Birch Hill (Thunder Mtn).

Old framing, looking up - StillFraming008.jpg

It had been impossible to get a decent shot of this angle. This photo was taken standing on the slab where the stairs will be, looking up. You can see a lot of the old wood that we were able to save. The main bit of framing is one wall of Dominic's room.
