Old Buildings – Gfpacificbee’s Insights & photography

From Hither and Thither and Yon I have traveled back and forth across the United States from the California to the Carolinas.

Hither and Thither and Yon, I traveled on and on Seeking adventure with family and friends.

Hither and Thither and Yon to a land used once long ago. From San Francisco to Alcatraz, Hither and Thither and Yon we traveled on and on.

The **Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary**
or **United States Penitentiary,**
**Alcatraz Island,** off the coast of San Francisco, California, USA,
which operated from 1934 to 1963.

Hither and Thither and Yon we venture on and on. We wander to this land and that land stopping to see what’s near and far. From Northern California to the Grand Canyon in Arizona.

Hither and Thither and Yon we wondered how the Hopi Native Americans lived and how long it took them to build the Hopi House.

Hither and Thither and Yon the architectural design built in 1904 by local Hopi artisans. It was designed to resemble a traditional Hopi pueblo.

**Hopi House** is located on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, within Grand Canyon National Park in the U.S. state of Arizona.

Hither and Thither and Yon we journey on and on for a long adventure to the Carolinas in the southeastern portion of the United States. Over hills and mountains and through the wide plains and plateaus of Texas onward and upwards to the Carolinas we travel on and on.

Hither and Thither and Yon we roam the vast acreage of Anne Springs Close Greenway and are amazed by the moving and reconstructing of the Graham Cabin.

**Graham Cabin** located in the grounds of Anne Springs Close Greenway in Fort Mill, South Carolina. *The cabin is more than two hundred (200) years old. According to an early 1800’s census the Reverend Billy Graham’s grandfather, Archibald Graham, born in this cabin and lived there for a time.*

Hither and Thither and Yon how I wonder why we roam Hither and Thither and Yon. Hither and Thither and Yon we seek the vast lands of America taking in its rich history and absorb the knowledge left behind by those who came before us.

Hither and Thither and Yon we travel south from the Graham Cabin to see the Mebane Grammer School in the town where my father grew up. Hither and Thither and Yon I wonder why I travel on and on seeking whatever’s in the vast beyond.

**Mebane Grammer School** (Original Great Falls Grammar School) was built in 1924 in Great Falls, South Carolina. It was named for the Mebane family who were officers with Republic Mills. [The company that ran the mills in Great Falls. My paternal grandfather worked in the Republic ‘s #3 mill]. The school burned down in 1976.

Hither and Thither and Yon maybe it’s time to be close to family once again. Hither and Thither and Yon to the Old Watson Homestead we travel on and on. Hither and Thither and Yon It’s time to relax and feel at home on the Old Homestead with family close by.

Jeramiah (Jerry) Watson Family Home place. This is the homestead place of my maternal Great Grandparents (my mother’s father’s parents) near Deep Gap, North Carolina. It was a place known for the family to gather together and share good times and fellowship with one another.

Hither and Thither and Yon I wish all your dreams and desires come to fulfilment. Hither and Thither and Yon You are loved. Enjoy those close at hand. Hither and Thither and Yon.
