1943 photo of the Staub farm house.
The Staubs also lived in the Codori farm house at the
time of the battle. The Staub farm was south west of the
Codori farm.
At the time of this photo the house was not at the
original location so the park service didn't want it to
be there unless it was part of the battle field July
1963.
