Note the three rectangular lines along the eastern edge of the field where the hangars stood from 1921 to 1928. The storm water mitigation project will affect this area. Also note the drainage pattern. Aerial image, March 1938 LHA Photo Collection P1180.

3. This 1996 aerial photograph shows the condition of the field and the development along its eastern edge separated by Shute Lane. The projecting line of trees in the top right corner is roughly the location of where the culvert under Shute Lane spills out onto Hermitage property. Note the straight drainage line now visible across the field. Images from 1996 Overlay, Metro Mapping and GIS
