What a great find and nice job on the photos! I enjoy photos of days gone by and the structures left behind. I always wonder why they were abandoned. Thank you for posting, much appreciated.

I was told once that many a rancher/farmer used two small cabins with a connecting room rather than build an entirely new house. Are the bins still in use? Nice images, BTW. Sorry about the fox.

Excellent set Jim - perfectly exposed! What an unusual house.
Many thanks Bill...the compound itself is still in good shape, sad!!

Yes, I've seen this style of farm construction on rare occasions and it has been a long time since. These old structures were often cobbled together as the need arose so it is not entirely unusual. Don't think the silos are still in use cuz I've photographed this site before in the summer and have never seen any evidence of use. The fox was a beauty too, thick red coat that would have looked nice in a scene here.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting!!

The contrast between the metal silos and quonset vs. the wooden house and building is a real treat! Well conceived and captured - nice story too!
