Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of a small, old barn in Red Oak, Iowa, as viewed at an angle. Grasses line a dirt and gravel driveway that passes across the foreground, sloping slightly upwards at right. On the far side of the drive, a square barn stands. It is viewed at an angle and from a slight worm's-eye perspective. On the right side of the barn, framing outlines what may have once been a door. At left a house stands in partial view behind the barn. In the background at right, the side of another building extends beyond the right frame. Text from negative sleeve: 2236.

There is a small door at upper right hand side where hay was put into loft. I fell out of this door trying to pull up a scantling [sic] that father had put up to the door. Fell on a pile of ashes. Not hurt but father was frightened. 3. The old Crandall or Gleason property next to the Methodist Church. I used to jump up on that stone wall and walk it on my way to school.
