This photo shows the barn and chicken coop on tract #99 sometime between 1946 and 1958. The chicken coop in foreground, a log structure now cladded in white boards, shows an unpainted addition to the entry at left. The four windows on the south side appear to be covered but with the frames still apparent. In front is a high enclosure of chicken wire framed with poles and containing several brown chickens from the coop by way of the small doorway and ramp visible at ground level. Behind the coop the upper part of the "Barrel Vault" barn is visible above the coop as well as a small portion of the log barn base at left. In front of the chicken enclosure at left is a tall power pole with the top out of the picture but with power lines leading to both the coop and the barn. The ground in near foreground appears to be a harvested potato patch. Far middle ground behind the barn shows the cleared face of the upper bench topped with leafless trees.
