Description
Photograph of the ruins of the Old Lu, a deserted homestead in northern Montana, 1882. Two adobe buildings are pictured at center, missing all of their spackle and showing their brick. The wall between them has crumbled inward, while the side wall of the rightmost building is also visible having crumbled. A basin stands against a post at left in front. What appears to be snow covers the ground.
