Description

The image depicts a barn under renovation, where a person is seen working on the roof, removing worn-out shingles. The barn, built in the traditional architectural style with a large, curved roof, has scaffolding set up along the side to provide access. A ladder leans against the side, and the roofer, wearing casual attire, appears focused on the task at hand under a clear blue sky. The structure features distinctive cupolas.

Context

This barn was built by Elmer Strohl in 1925, on the foundation of a 1900 barn built by Ed Willis and also used as a living space for a person recovering from tuberculosis. This is a photo of the barn in 2005 when it was re-shingled and restored.
