Greetings,

Re-reading J. Howard Wert's EPISODES OF GETTYSBURG AND THE UNDERGROUND 
RAILROAD (Edited by Craig Caba), I came across reference to a house on the 
Baltimore Pike near White's Run called the "Old Brick", formerly a tavern. 
During the battle, it was owned by a Daniel Schaeffer, and this is 
supposedly where General Dan Sickles had his leg amputated on July 2nd.
Is this the same farm which we visited on one of our hospital tours with 
Roland Maust?  And, if so, is the house brick?  We visited the barn, but 
never got to the house.

Regards,

Jack Kelly
