The old manor house was used as a post office and the buildings of the Forest Division occupied the rest of the buildings, which once had belonged to the estate.

 The Lemko Rusyns: Their Past and Present
This area is geographically marked by the gently rolling hills of the Lower Beskyd range and the higher and more rugged Upper Beskyds (Bieszczady) with peaks between 3000 and 4000 feet in the far east.
Several passes in the Lower Beskyds, the most famous known as the Dukla Pass, had at least before the establishment of strictly controlled borders in the twentieth century afforded easy access to the southern slopes of the mountains inhabited by fellow Carpatho-Rusyns.
Actually, most scholars consider that on linguistic and ethnographic grounds the Lemko Rusyns extend only as far as the Oslawa and Solinka River valleys, excluding therefore most of Lisko county, but Lemko writers and publicists both in Europe and in the United States consider their homeland to extend as far as the San River.
