Henry,
It reall hard to tell from some of these. But, I am thinking that this could be what is/was the Nichols farm at the very end (St. Albans side) of Nichols Rd. Not sure how long it has been the Nichols Farm....I maybe wrong due to it is called the Nichols Rd......
I do know at the dead end part (Seymour Rd., Nichols Rd. Extension, etc...) there are numerous homesteads, cellar holes. And there area some apple trees. (This is where I grew up, so I know all the woods in that area very well.) But, the terrian does not look the same. Although there are a few spots that look similar. The Fairfax side of Nichols Rd., does not have the 'flatness" that these pictures are showing. (Due to I think Beaver Meadow Brook that fllows through the area just past the Stockwells.)
It could also possibly be the home where the Legault/Ladue Family lived, about 1/2 way between the two entrances. The pics, don't show the huge tree that would be in the front yard.....
Can you get a copy of the map???
I also recall hearing that at one point the Nichols Rd., was the only route from Georgia to St. Albans, you can follow it all the way to the interstate. Its a trail now, but still easy to see. And from the Oakland Station Rd., you can see it leading through the fields ad back towards Fairfax..
