1936

This tinted photo shows a view of the Puhl Colony farmstead on tract #99 in the fall of 1936. The view, looking toward the northwest, shows the south side and east end of the log home in middle ground and the white "Barrel Vault"-roofed barn under construction behind it to the left. The original Colony tent is partially visible behind the house at right. In foreground and middle ground at left are numerous field haystacks from the recent harvest. The right side of the image shows heavy birch forest in middle ground. At left, the bench behind the barn shows recent clearing with brush piles ready to burn. Heavy forest forms the backdrop beyond the upper bench. A few scattered birch trees remain at left foreground and in the yard by the house.
