Description

Photograph of a small, old barn in Red Oak, Iowa, as viewed at an angle. Grasses line a dirt and gravel driveway that passes across the foreground, sloping slightly upwards at right. On the far side of the drive, a square barn stands. It is viewed at an angle and from a slight worm's-eye perspective. On the right side of the barn, framing outlines what may have once been a door. At left a house stands in partial view behind the barn. In the background at right, the side of another building extends beyond the right frame.
