As said it was an abundant tree here in the northeast. In this area many houses had chestnut trim. It was used for everything. As a youngster growing up in the woods (dad was a logger and sawyer) many dead chestnut trees were still standing in the woods (wood is naturally rot resistant). Sometimes we would saw some of these old dead trees which had holes from grubs in them. The wood, called wormy chestnut, was used for decorative paneling. Saplings would start to grow and once they got large enough to produce fruit the blight would kill them (I tried growing some I found). Also as mentioned they publically asked for locations of any surviving trees so they could be used to breed blight resistant saplings. I used to know where there was a few. Now 50 years later those old dead trees, many very large, no longer stand or lie in the woods, all rotted away.
