 Postcard circa 1960s

 Horseheads (Elmira), New York
2671 Corning Rd

 

 Horseheads featured an early A-frame Gate Lodge. The Company decide in 1959 to abandon the Nims "ranch" type in favor of the A-frame. This one was "squat" when compared to the ones that were built throughout the 1960s.

 Amazingly the Gate Lodge at Horseheads has survived (2005). Its owners saw fit to install a "modern" Orange Roof even as they squared it off. Additionally they did not install any of the silly "button" lights.
