Coordinates

[edit]

The current coordinates (37°7′19″N 81°1′55″W / 37.12194°N 81.03194°W / 37.12194; -81.03194) appear to be incorrect. Photos of the home available here do not match what is at the current coordinates via Google maps. It appears those coordinates were taken from the address of the property (also available from the previous link). When that address is typed into Bing maps, yet another location is returned, also appearing to be incorrect. A closer look of the area reveals a house that does in fact look like the house in the DHR photos. (37°7′30.5718″N 81°0′58.3626″W / 37.125158833°N 81.016211833°W / 37.125158833; -81.016211833) It seems to me that our coordinates were taken from a mapping application and that has proven unreliable in this case. We are presenting obviously incorrect information. So, while it's arguably original research, I'm going to change the coordinates to what I believe are the correct ones. – JBarta (talk) 09:08, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
