Early 1950's

This photo is a foreground view of the east end and south side of the Colony barn constructed on the Bailey Colony farm on tract #152. Standing at the southwest corner of the barn is a wooden silo reaching up above the lower edge of the roof. The lower part of the barn, constructed of spruce logs, has been covered in this case with boards. The south wall exhibits an open doorway and two clear windows. A third window is mostly covered by the silo. The roofing paper on the roof is covered with numerous wood strips to reinforce against the strong valley winds. A young bull calf stands in front of the barn and a good deal of lumber and other miscellaneous material is visible at the right of the barn. Talkeetna Mountains are faintly visible in background.
