About this Item
Title | Salt box type barn |
Date | July 17, 1940 |
Description | Photograph of the back of a barn built in the salt box style, sitting in a grassy field. Salt box type barns typically feature a loft or a second story on the front portion of the building, and a single story toward the rear. In this image, facing the camera, the salt box’s rear roof line descends to the height of a single story structure. The barn appears to be in some state of disrepair, with a broken fence standing to the right of the barn. Trees appear behind the barn. Image taken near VA Route 97, 3 miles from the town of Galax, Va., which is bounded by Carroll County, Va., and Grayson County, Va. Image taken by Kenneth McCarter on July 17, 1940. |
