Description

Black and white image of a group of men standing about and upon the open framework of a barn. Long supports hold the sides up, and open rafters cover the top. Men sit along the second floor and in an upper rafters area, and stand along the main floor. Large logs can bee seen as part of the foundation, with planking laid over them. The ground beneath the image is not level, and the barn sits on pilings to accommodate the changing foundation elevation.
