William P. Hall #8

"Hall's Cellar" as it was called, housed as many as 30 elephants.
Looks like a John Robinson cage next to the barn.

Interesting picture here. We see an old John Robinson 20-foot cottage cage which Dick Conover tells us was swapped to Hall in a deal for some baggage horses in 1910. Unfortunately this beauty never trouped again and rotted there in Lancaster.

I stopped by several times in the sixties to view the remains of the Hall place, and once prowling around in the area of the cellar below this barn, I discovered in the concrete this inscription: "Edgar Welch- November 17, 1911."

Of course this dates the pouring of the floor. Does Welch's name ring a bell with you?
