ID buildings at Gettysburg fields

[Erich~]

Greets everyone

my Brother and I visited Gettysburg back 2014, one thing I failed to do was be consistent in labeling my pics, especially the buildings, so hopeful on this fine forum those of you can help ID for me.....

here we go.

The first shot is the Old Girls dorm of the Orphanage. It is just south of the old Soldiers National Museum.

Here is a link to further info.

The second shot is the McLean farm.

Hope I helped.

The second photo is the Sherfy Barn looking towards the Pennsylvania Monument.

Need to think about the first photo. That building doesn't jog anything in my mind.

 

[Erich~]

thanks again for the ID on the second photo, ok a couple more ~

The first one from post #6 is one of the seminary outbuildings.

The ones in the last post are the Rose Farm house, and the Codori barn.

Could that first picture show Battery C, 3rd U.S. Horse Artillery on the Taneytown Road, taken from the Pennsylvania monument?

Right. It's on the west slope of seminary ridge near the seminary. It is a modern building and has no historic significance. I'm guessing that it's some kind of maintenance building. Delete it!

Ironically it sits on the Seminary's Historic Trail. Link to trail info and maps also includes historic photos. Nice trail to walk at dusk.

That pump house is located at the top right of the first map on the linked page. Small square building off by itself. It is not labeled.

Thanks for the reference map EJ Zander. That photo had me stumped! That building along with the newer house and cannon in the upper part of the photo eliminated 99% of the battlefield. I have not cut through the Seminary area in quite a few years and it showed here.

It's a nice location because you can see McPherson Ridge, clearly, also. Here is a 360 degree video:

The modern pumphouse on Seminary Ridge marks the approximate furthest advance of Scales' Brigade during their attack.

Dont feel bad Wally. You got all the important stuff down pat. The pump house is my only claim to fame.
