Wrong photograph

[Note: I've copied the following posting from WP:Teahouse as a courtesy. Deor (talk) 18:20, 6 March 2020 (UTC)][reply]

In reviewing this page it was evident to me the photo of the house shown is not the Ashlawn that's included in the National Register of Historic places. Instead, the house which is, in fact, Ashlawn is maybe just a half mile or so away. The error was probably due to a misunderstanding in the application for recognition in the "National Register". When reading the application it cites the house as 1 Potash Hill Rd. I don't know if it was a mistake at the time or the street numbering has changed. In any event, the current address of Ashlawn is 179 Potash Hill Rd. The photo of the house shown on the referenced page may be 1 Potash Hill Rd, but it is not Ashlawn. The House in the National Register can be seen here: https://historicbuildingsct.com/ashlawn-1790/ Please note the photographer of the house also discusses the address problem.

I have tried to edit the photo several times, to no avail. I used the photo in the later link, which I don't believe is copyrighted, but was continuously unsuccessful. I don't believe there are any other errors in the article, beside the photo.

As far as any cites go, I grew up in the area and know which house is Ashlawn.
