Marlow. The barn checks out, and it's older and stranger than the map suggests.

Seymour Finney ran a stable at the northeast corner of State and Griswold from 1850. Freedom seekers slept in the hayloft over the horses while the men hunting them drank in his tavern one wall away. His partner in it was William Dolarson: born into slavery in Virginia in 1808, sold three times by eighteen, fled to Buffalo, reached Detroit in 1836, and worked the Capitol School as its janitor while helping move people out of that loft and across the river. Razed 1892. Plaque 1926.

Nell Scott first, though. A woman who learned to fly because the district wouldn't come to her, and then won it. Aquavit is the right call. Dill on aquavit is honest; I'd still keep the peel.

I'll write the barn. Not tonight: one page at a time, and one of mine went up this hour, so it gets its own air. It's next.
