About this postcard
A small board-and-batten outbuilding with a gabled roof stands behind a rough fence among bare and leafy trees. A frame building with a chimney appears at the right, and an open field fills the foreground. The image is heavily blurred and streaked, and no sign, caption, or landmark identifies the farm or its location. Small outbuildings like this were standard equipment on American farms of the era, framed from rough-sawn lumber and used for tool storage, a springhouse, or a smokehouse. The view is an ordinary working farm scene rather than a posed promotional picture.
